MUMBAI: Bunty Walia‘s Lamhaa, directed by Rahul Dholakia and starring Sanjay Dutt, Bipasha Basu, Kunal Kapoor, Anupam Kher and Shenaaz, is scheduled to release on 16 July.

The film is a story about an army man, played by Sanjay Dutt, and his love interest, played by Bipasha Basu, in the midst of the various issues that Kashmir had faced for years.

Lamhaa is award-winning filmmaker Rahul Dholakia‘s second film after his first Parzania won critical acclaim. It is a sensitive film and just like Parzania that centred on the angst of the people in a terror-stricken place, Lamhaa deals about these issues.

Since Lamhaa is depicted in Kashmir, the government went out of its way to ensure that there was no untoward incident when the filming was on.

The film was shot across three schedules in 75 days. While two schedules were held in Kashmir for 25 days, the third one was held in Mumbai for 50 days.
