Kumar Gaurav in an American film

 Actor Kumar Gaurav will be seen in a US-produced film about the voyage of the first Indian settlers to Guyana in northern South America.

 Kumar has been seen so rarely on the big screen in the last few years. His last memorable role was in Sanjay Gupta's Kaante . But now the actor will return in a small budget American film titled 'Guiana 1838 (2004)'.

 The movie, set in the nineteenth century, traces the voyage of Indian workers aboard the ship Hesperus from Bay of Bengal to Guyana. Kumar plays the male lead in the film. He is believed to be the only Indian actor in the movie's star cast.

 The movie's shooting and post-production work is already complete. Its New York-based producers are talking to Miramax for its distribution in the US and elsewhere.

 'Guiana 1838 (2004)' is made at a marginal budget of $5 million. The movie is likely to release early next year.

 The movie is learnt to be directed by Rohit Jagessar. Rohit is an Indian-American of Caribbean descent.

Kumar Gaurav: 'I'm an actor' Finally, at 40 plus, it seems like   Kumar Gaurav's   second innings has actually started. In the news because of his performance in the late Mazhar Khan's much belated Gang, he has also acted in two rather slick telefilms --  Sikander   and   Chocolate , both directed by Vivek Agnihotri -- which are due for release soon.   . He speaks of the experience in rather staccato bursts, as if unwilling to discuss a career noted, more than anything else, for its massive run of ill luck. For   Bunty , as he is fondly known, is acknowledged as a fine actor. His very first film, Love Story, brought him adulation and bouquets in no mean measure. The industry pundits predicted that a star worth watching had been born. Challenging roles like   Janam (1985)   and   Naam (1986)   followed, but he was unable to reactivate the audience's response to successful stars. Though everyone acknowledged his acti...

Star (1982) Director: Vinod Pande  Music: Biddu; Lyrics: Indeevar/Amit Khanna  Year: 1982  Running Time: 132 minutes If you are a fan of Disco Dancer (and who isn't!) you might want to check out this film starring Kumar Gaurav and Rati Agnihotri. Disco Dancer started a disco craze in India (some five years after the release of Saturday Night Fever in the U.S.) and a few other disco related films naturally followed on its white leather patent dancing heels. Star was made in the same year as Disco Dancer - 1982 - and though it is reasonably fun, it is lacking the unintentional lunacy and over saturated cheese of Disco Dancer. Disco Dancer reached such sublime heights of bad fashion, bad dance steps and bad dialogue that it has reached cult status – and also because it is so much darn fun! Star doesn’t have quite the same ambitions and so has less distance to fall and it also hasn’t aged quite as deliriously badly as Disco Dancer. It still has its campy pleasure...
