Baabarr

I play character of Chaturvedi police officer in Baabarr- Om PuriOm Puri is always known to depict sheer emotions and acting skills in each and every film he did. And indeed he got recognisation and admiration through prestigious awards like 2 National awards, Filmfare Award, Life-time achievement award, Padmashri award, got nominated in Bafta awards. And yet again he is all set to grab the lime-light from his role in his up-coming action-packed film “Baabarr”. He is playing the character of a police-officer. To believe this will be his 30th time playing police-officer in the film. Recently, with media interaction in Marwaha studio in Noida, he discussed about his film “Baabarr”, his role and many more things. Following is the tête-à-tête:

You are a police-officer in film “Baabarr”. Elaborate -Yes, I am playing a police-officer. There was no reason to choice specifically this. God knows how many more times I’ll play police-officer.From “Ardhsatya” you have played the character of police-officer several times. How does it feel? -The journey of being police-officer from film “Ardhasatya” till “Baabarr” has been great and much more beyond learning and witnessing hard-core reality. I have played both positive as well as negative shades of police-officer. In “Ardhsatya” I was honest, committed and dedicated police-officer.
Whereas in “Baabarr” I am corrupted police-officer. I help culprits and go ahead with planning-plotting against its own system. I thoroughly enjoyed playing police-officer Chaturvedi. In reality such officers do exist in our system.Come back to “Baabarr” what is the story of the film? It is kind of creating anxiety. - This is the story of a boy who started from the streets of Aman ganj had trespassed every barrier of crime. For the 10 years that followed he traumatized one and all. His reign of fear terrorized everyone in the state, right from the common man to the Government. This was …
BAABARREven the movie stars Mithun da. How was it to work with him? -It was immense pleasure to work with him. Everyone knows what kind of actor he is. I always earned pleasure to work with stars like Amitabh Bachchan in film “Dev” and Naseeruddin Shah in film “Maqbool”.You are known to get into the debt of the role you play. Did any role had major impact on you and affected your personal life? -Yes, “Ardhsatya” role really influenced me. Talking about other roles, until I am on sets, the character is the only thing which revolves in my mind and blood. Once I am off sets I simply Om Puri.How was the experience to work with Director Ashuu Tirkha? -He picked up a good subject. It is not easy to shoot on real location from where the film is based on. I am sure; audience will appreciate work to Mr.Ashuu Which are your up-coming films? -“Wanted”, “London Dreams”, “Qurbaan” and “Road to Sangam”.You have received tons of prestigious awards including Padmshree, Life time achievement and National award. What next? -Many more are left. Let me earn them then we will talk about it.

This powerful medium of human expression creates dreams for those looking out to the world as their playing field, it makes dreams a reality, it makes the hearts come closer and distances disappear, it makes the world to shrink into your fist.

Khussro Films has been into this business of making dreams a reality since more than 20 years. The journey began with providing production support and planning for the International Filmmaking fraternity wanting to shoot films in India and there has been no looking back since then. Khussro Films has most successfully helped out a number of film makers from across the world to make films not only in India, but also in countries as Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Myanmar (Burma) and endeavours explore any

location across the world.

The speciality of Khussro Films in the filmmaking business is the understanding of the needs of the filmmaking world and matching up with the professionalism required and timely delivery matching up with the most challenging needs in this business.

Although, India makes the largest number of films in the world but the application in making films in India is very different than those made overseas and the trained crew to match up with the foreign crew, in terms of the professionalism and technology had been missing since long.

Khussro Films realised the very basic needs and the lack of technology and the trained crew in India and hence ventured to train the Indian crew and encourage the various vendors for upgrading the equipments for quality filmmaking.

Hence a long journey undertaken and various hurdles cleared for KHUSSRO FILMS to boast of a backup of trained professional crew, a vast location archive in India,

Bhutan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Myanmar (Burma), an excellent

backup of advanced cinematic equipment, logistical support, Government Clearances, Customs Clearances, Accommodations and Transport and most importantly Casting.

YOUR SCRIPT – OUR SUPPORT.


Director’s Vision


The germ was there for quite a while, in my mind…

I never got around to nurturing it for a simple that I never thought that I would get a producer for this type of cinema in todays world.

I have known Feroze Alameer for around 4 years now, having joined his organization as an assistant transport manager.

One day I made a brief narration of the story to him. He was excited and asked me to give him a bound script.

The moment I started penning down “Blue Oranges”, there was no stopping. It was as if the story was waiting in some corner of my mind, to be written.

I had completed the script within a week and mailed it to Feroze Alameer. He green lit the film immediately. This was nothing short fo a miracle. One of those invisible miracles that guide us through the journey of our lives. The Very miracles that “Blue Oranges” is all about.

The shooting was scheduled to commence six weeks after my meeting with the Producer.

Our team got to work immediately, casting, locations recces, etc. Every member of the team believed in the film and put in a hundred percent.

The shoot commenced at a very high note, and this fervor continued till the very end despite the fact that we had to overcome several obstacles. It came to a point where we had to shoot for 37 hours at a stretch due to a location being cancelled. We were supposed to shoot for 2 days in this location, but since it was cancelled, we could only get the alternate location for one day.

We shot here for 24 hours, and both the Producer and I was ready to cancel the next days shoot. But the entire cast and crew wanted to keep going. So we went to the next location and shot through the day.

Similarly, the Art Director that we had initially selected for the film could not make himself available. He pulled out barely a week before the shoot. We went on a mad scramble to get a good Production Designer who would be able to deliver with just a weeks prep.

He was perhaps the only person who was about to work with our team for the first time. But he delivered …. And how !

Writing a script of a who dunnit genre is extremely challenging, yet it has always intrigued me. Blue Oranges is a love story with a murder to boot.

Having completed the film, I personally feel satisfied with what we have achieved. I sincerely thank all the cast for their brilliant performances and the crew for their dedication and undying support for the film.
