Yesterday,Once More

Peter and his partner,Ranjit Dahiya,who has also painted Anarkali,are in the process of finalising the next mural,on Helen. “She is the original item girl of Bollywood who was way ahead of her time,” says Dahiya. “It only makes sense that we pick someone as revolutionary as her for our second mural.” The painting will depict the dancer either from Teesri Manzil or the original Don. Whether they will be able to hold a public screening of the film after its completion,is yet to be decided. “One of the biggest challenges is that it requires too many permissions,” says Peter.

BAP plans on completing 150 murals by the end of 2012,although they are yet to seek permissions. Hence,a lot of ambiguity exists. “We have a list of obvious personalities to whom we want to pay tribute – Raj Kapoor,Guru Dutt,Dadasaheb Phalke,Madhubala,Feroz Khan and Sridevi,” confirms Peter.
