Curiosidades

Refugee is a 2000 Indian Hindi-language romantic drama film written and directed by J. P. Dutta. It marked the debut of both the leading actors, Abhishek Bachchan and Kareena Kapoor. Jackie Shroff, Suniel Shetty, and Anupam Kher appeared in supporting roles. The film was a moderate success at the box-office and was the fifth highest-grossing film of that year.

Production

Refugee is attributed to have been inspired by Love Across The Salt Desert, a story by Keki N. Daruwalla based around the Great Rann of Kutch. It is included as a short-story in the 11 and 12 English textbook for schools of NCERT in India.

Bipasha Basu was convinced by Jaya Bachchan to play the role of a village belle opposite her son Abhishek Bachchan in J. P. Dutta’s Aakhri Mughal. However the film was shelved, and Dutta changed the script and made Refugee with Kareena Kapoor. Basu was offered a role in Refugee opposite Suniel Shetty, which she declined. Tabu was signed to play a doctor, however the role was eventually scrapped.

The crew, which had travelled from Mumbai, was primarily based in Bhuj, where the majority of filming took place across the Kutch district. Locations included the Great Rann of Kutch—including sections of the “snow-white” Rann under the control of the Border Security Force (BSF)—as well as villages and BSF posts in the Banni Grasslands and surrounding Rann region.
