By IANSSunday, November 8, 2009
MUMBAI - Lyricist and screenwriter Prasoon Joshi has a new job these days. He’s busy helping the government conceptualise how the Commonwealth Game 2010 would be presented before the international audience.
These days I am busy working with the government conceptualising the Commonwealth Games 2010, Joshi said.
When asked to specify what exactly was his role in the Games, he said: The whole thing, except the sports. Conceptualising the whole way it would be presented in front of the world audience.
Working out the entire concept, however, isn’t a one man show. Veteran director Shyam Benegal and lyricist Javed Akhtar have also been appointed for the same.
I am not alone in this project, Shyam Benegal and Javed Akhtar sahib are also working on it, Joshi said.
Delhi is hosting the 19th Commonwealth Games from Oct 3 to 14, 2010, in 17 sporting disciplines.
