India, Aug. 28 -- Writer and director Arvind Pandey's love for his hometown, Lucknow, continues. He recently wrapped the shoot of his film Teetar with actor Santosh Shukla in the state capital and is now gearing up for its release, along with Love Lottery, which also has a strong city connection. "Aap jis mitti se bandhe hote ho, woh aapke andar se kabhi jaata nahin. It feels great when people in Mumbai identify me as a Lucknowite without me telling them. So, my stories and locations always have a city element attached to them, along with mountains. My debut film, Ishq Pashmina, was also shot in the Himalayas and Lucknow," says Arvind, who was born in Ayodhya but has lived in the state capital. On wrapping up the shoot in the city, he says, 'We shot Teetar with Santosh, Khushi Singh, Anil Rastogi, Middat Khan, and others. The film was shot all over the city and its outskirts and has roohaniyat and the soul of Lucknow. We started it as a short film, but it became a full-length film. We now plan to shoot a small portion again.' He is next gearing up for Love Lottery. "We shot the film in Dehradun and Haridwar, but we have shown Lucknow as our protagonist Akshay Oberoi's hometown. It's a very important film on male rights and is inspired by true events.' The filmmaker's next film, too, on family relations and values, is also set in Uttar Pradesh. "We are exploring locations in Madhya Pradesh as well, with a portion in the mountains," he adds....
