The cross-cultural comedy West is West opened the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) 2010 and the muchawaited British film will release in India in February, 2011.
"East is West is my baby. Work has already begun on the script. But if you force a film, it never works. I maymake the film in the next two years though," Leslee Udwin, the producer of the franchise said.
The producer was upset by the apathy shown by the audience, which was largely made of government officials.
"It was a bit of a shock to see people leave midway. I still need to get used to it because this film like a babyto me and I expected more respect for the opening film," she added.
"Pakistan has not got the profile of the safest place in the world. Under no circumstances, would the insurer haveallowed us to shoot in Pakistan," said Udwin.
It sees the return of Puri as the charismatic George Khan, determined to instill some discipline and culturalidentity into his son Sajid, played by newcomer Aqib Khan. The film sees Sajid, the youngest son played by AqibKhan, introduced to the father's first family in Pakistan.
