He has not had a hit film since the late 1970s "I'm only flattering them by doing the story," he said The Times of India recently published interviews with Jones, who called Anand's movie "very exploitative," and with Anoushka, who called Anand "a jerk " Ravi Shankar, a three-time Grammy winner, has been well-known in the West for decades because of his influence on the Beatles Norah Jones was born in New York and raised in Texas But Shankar's wife, Sukanya, said the whole family is opposed to the script "It's nobody's business and intrudes on our privacy "I want to do something I've not done earlier, otherwise what's the use of my doing it "The next day it was in the news that this Norah Jones had won five Grammys and she happened to be the daughter of Ravi Shankar," he said Shankar, Jones Object to Indian Film Oct 3, 2:10 PM EST The stars: a world-renowned sitar composer and his long-lost daughter, an American jazz singer " And they don't like it "This is a great international subject â€â€? a great Indian musician with a daughter who is American, totally American," Anand, 79, told The Associated Press during an interview in a room cluttered with CDs, books and papers at his spacious recording studio It focuses on Jones, her mother â€â€? who Anand says was "deserted" by the Indian musician â€â€? as well as on Shankar, his wife and other daughter, Anoushka, herself a sitarist For 10 years, she had no contact with her father, but the two have since made peace The actors will speak English, not Hindi The script for "Song of Life" echoes the story of Shankar and Jones, which was revealed after the young singer took over the 2003 Grammys with her debut CD, "Come Away With Me "Nobody knows the inside story about our family except for us, really," an upset Sukanya Shankar said by telephone from London, where she was accompanying her husband and daughter on a European tour Jones' Grammy triumph focused unwanted attention on Shankar's estranged relationship with Norah's mother, New York concert producer Sue Jones, whom he never married "Look, I have to be ambitious at this stage in my career," said Anand, seated near a softly glowing lamp that is gentle on his wrinkles The finale: the daughter sweeps the Grammy awards and they reunite " "How are great books written, great movies made?" he said, excitedly waving his hands " The filmmaker is Dev Anand, a veteran of Bombay-based "Bollywood," which churns out 800 movies a year He plans to play Shankar and recently traveled to New York to cast American and Indian actors The inspiration comes from there, the thought He was mobbed by screaming female fans in the 1950s and '60s â€â€? just like the Beatles, who came to India, befriended Shankar and introduced his sitar music to an international audience Anand recalls being in New York last February around Grammy time Anoushka also was nominated at this year's Grammys for the best world music album, although she did not win " "He does not have our permission to produce this film," Sukanya Shankar told The AP "For now, we will just tell the press that this has nothing to do with our story The movie will feature four songs and no bump and grind dances typical of Bollywood Does this Bollywood plot sound familiar? Ravi Shankar and Norah Jones think so "I'm over everything, I don't resent him," Jones said in May "You don't need anything else after this " Anand says he need not ask permission, since he would be "handicapped in scripting, in imagination Anand has played suave romantic leads in 115 Hindi-language movies since his 1945 debut, and has directed 16 movies over the last three decades " Known for a trademark wink, lopsided grin and stooped gait during his movie-star days, and later for his knack for finding new talent, Anand knows time is running out Music from the 1940s plays in the background, and at key points, the sounds of war â€â€? gunfire, explosions, diving planes â€â€? punctuate Pyle's words Before the war, Pyle was a columnist, reporting from an extended trip across the United States I've listened to thousands of Americans over the years "We can only give a taste of Ernie's work in our play," the playwright says He won the Pulitzer Prize in 1944 and by the D-Day invasion, officers were competing to get him to report from their units Ernie Pyle turned him on to the idea of "honor the warrior and not the war," the motto of Vietnam Veterans Against War, an organization to which Treat still belongs The square-jawed actor-playwright is about as tall as Pyle at 5 feet and 7 inches, but he is more solidly built than the wiry reporter appears in photos In his columns, syndicated by Scripps-Howard in more than 250 newspapers, Pyle often included details that no correspondent could today, such as a soldier's hometown and even his street address Feeling rejected, he burned his uniform "After reading 'Brave Men,' I also began to understand my dad's generation," Treat said in an interview Dead at age 44, the journalist was mourned as a hero It ran a few weeks His father, a World War II vet, gave Treat a copy of "Brave Men," a collection of columns written by one of America's most famous war correspondents, Ernie Pyle "He was determined to travel to all 48 states, Hawaii and Alaska, and tell the story of common Americans," Treat says " Assigned to cover World War II, Pyle shared foxholes with GIs in the sand of North Africa and the mud of Italy, telling their stories And when you are worn out and gone, the wind, still saying nothing, still so gentle and sad and timeless, is still blowing across the prairies, and will blow in the faces of those who follow you, forever But it reaches its climax with dialogue written by Treat, as Pyle talks about the final moments of his life on the island of Ie Shima, when he was killed by Japanese machine gun fire in April 1945 Near the end, he shifts to the Pacific, where Pyle follows the Marines to Okinawa, still tracking the lowly GI He started his own research by reading two biographies, "The Story of Ernie Pyle" (1950), by Lee G Using what he learned when he gained a master's degree in acting, he soon discovered he had "a knack for bringing excitement to the classroom " â€â€?â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: www Treat was uplifted by Pyle's stories about the grunt GI and life in the foxholes of World War II But by God, he isn't scratched Treat speaks energetically and talks directly to the audience: "This is what I do The current, cut-down version, directed by Lawrence Carr, runs about an hour with no intermission " One reason he took on the Pyle project, he says, was to encourage a new generation to read the journalist's work com "Ernie Pyle's War," Treat's adaptation of two biographies and Pyle's reports from the field, opens with the correspondent sitting at a typewriter as he contemplates his column for the day The play mostly uses Pyle's words, the drama emerging through Pyle's language Miller, and "Ernie Pyle's War" (1997), by James Tobin An earlier version of the play, developed in a summer workshop, was three hours long with an intermission " Treat portrays the correspondent's journey through World War II from North Africa to Italy, D-Day and then to the liberation of Paris "The full meal awaits the reader Some 30 years later, now a seasoned actor and high school English teacher, Treat began writing his one-man show based on Pyle's words, which he performs at a small theater less than two blocks from Times Square Treat, 57, performed for 10 years in a variety of small theaters in New York in the 1970s and 1980s before "the roles dried up" and he took the teacher's exam " Treat first staged the Pyle show last December in the basement of a midtown bookstore An 88-millimeter shell hits the ground above and a fragment of shrapnel flies between his arm and chest, tearing his shirt all to pieces erniepyleswar I talk with people Early in the play, the actor gives an account of those travels in Pyle's plain, moving prose: "You could wear out a lifetime on the dusty plains with that wind of futility blowing in your face The starkly lighted set uses few props: a typewriter, a steel helmet, a soldier's small shovel, ammunition box and a black chair and table on which are spread Pyle's dispatch folders As Treat speaks, historic photographs and film footage flash behind the actor Treat Brings Pyle's 'War' to Broadway Apr 30, 11:00 AM EST Martin Treat returned home from Vietnam in 1970, facing the anti-war sentiment of many Americans The current version, which he says he's "still tweaking," will run at least through May 17 at the McCaffrey Theatre in Holy Cross Church In one column from North Africa, Pyle wrote: "I'm sharing a foxhole with Private Malcolm Harbin, a farmer from Peru, New York |
