Kay Kay Menon on being ‘Phamous’

Actor Kay Kay Menon, who is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film Phamous, says he always wanted to shoot a film in the badlands of the Chambal ravines.

Menon was interacting with the media at the trailer launch of the film along with Jimmy Sheirgill, Pankaj Tripathi, Mahi Gill and director Karan Lalit Bhutani in Mumbai on Thursday.

Phamous is based in modern-day Chambal, a place notorious for the escapades of dacoits like Phoolan Devi, Paan Singh Tomar, Man Singh and Nirbhay Singh Gujjar.

Menon added: “Earlier, films which were based on Chambal were really good, so I have a superstition... Whenever you make a film on Chambal, it turns out to be really good, and therefore, I think this film is also really good. I always wanted to shoot a film in Chambal (Madhya Pradesh) and with this film, that wish of mine was fulfilled.”
