Production

Following the success of his first film Aamir, UTV Motion Pictures re-signed Rajeev Khandelwal in June 2008 to be a part of their next film to be directed by British film maker John Owen. Shooting of the film, described as an action adventure, began on location in Goa India in August 2008. Alphonse Roy was signed on as cinematographer to shoot the film in 35mm.^[2]^[3] Actress Lekha Washington was added to the cast to make her first Hindi film appearance, after successfully coming through auditions.^[4]

The film was subsequently completed with the actors finishing their scenes and dubbing duties, before the production house suffered financial problems and release plans were stalled.^[5]

Following a video appeal from director John Owen's 80-year-old mother in May 2014, Disney was forced to agree to showcase the film at the 2014 London Raindance Film Festival. Owen subsequently completed a fully mastered and subtitled version of the film at his own cost for the one time only screening on 27 September 2014 at Vue Cinema, Picadilly Circus, London under the title of The Goa Run.^[6]
