We have to match his dates when Madhuri comes to India. Bobbi (Bedi, the producer) has promised to sort things out. Did you only think of Devgan when you decided to make a film on Ravi Varma in Hindi?
Yes, there are reasons for that too. In terms of looks, I find a lot of similarities between them. He is also a good performer.
His present age also matches with the artist of the period. You have been a maker of small films. Now, a film with two big stars in Hindi That was not in my mind at all.
I thought of two artistes who would fit with characters perfectly. Bobbi asked me one question, 'Do you want to take your film to a larger audience? If you do, I will support it'.
He then asked me if I had any problems with the images of stars. I have no such problems. You had Mohanlal in Vaanaprastham.
Yes. Another thing is, the metro audience is very strong today. Bobbi wanted to present a different kind of film to this audience.
In fact, he presented two films at the Cannes film festival ... more.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
