Danny Denzongpa doesn’t shoot in summer. He is making an exception with his new project an adaptation  of the classic Rabindranath Tagore story Kabuliwala, and not only because it is an exceptional role.

“I agreed because they will be shooting in Ladakh. Right now I am home in the jungles of Sikkim. From here I’ll head for Ladakh for the shooting,”   says Danny.

Danny Denzongpa spends only four months of the year in Mumbai. For the rest of the year he heads for the hills in his hometown in Sikkim.
