New Delhi: As the actor Danny Denzongpa readies for his 73rd birthday, here is a welcome surprise for him.

The film named ‘Frozen’ was shot a decade ago and is now all set to be the opening film at the Bandra Film Festival (BFF) on February 25, which happens to be the actor’s 73rd birthday.

As the 2007 gets ready for screening tomorrow, Danny Denzongpa said in a statement, “It’s great that there is this platform. It’s like a hidden gem which showcases cinema from the past that now the people can watch.”

“It was an adventurous and pleasant experience shooting in Ladakh in the dead of winter! My father was one of the head monks in a monastery in Sikkim. Living and observing him helped me portray this character very easily. The body language, chanting mantras and praying all have come from him. The slight Ladakhi accent came from my local speech teacher and interactions with the local assistants and crew members,” Danny further said in the statement.

The movie ‘Frozen’ is about the story of Karma (Denzongpa), a jam maker who resides in a remote village in the Himalayas with his daughter and son. The film revolves around the disturbances in their lives as Army surrounds their house and the area following tensions in the region.

The film also stars Yashpal Sharma, Aamir Bashir and Anuradha Baral.
