New Delhi
January 11, 2018
Actor Rahul Bhat, who is gearing up for the release of his
forthcoming film "Union Leader", says influential people in the industry should
support, appreciate and promote realistic cinema.
Filmmaker Anurag
Kashyap, who directed Rahul's previous film "Ugly" in 2014, tweeted praising
"Union Leader" and his performance by saying: "You are totally reinventing
yourself."
Asked how it feels to receive such support from the industry,
Rahul told media persons here on Thursday: "Directors like Anurag Kashyap,
Prakash (Jha), Sudhir (Mishra)... They all like these kinds of films. This is
realistic cinema. It's very important that influential people in the industry
support, appreciate and promote this kind of cinema. And I feel very happy about
that."
Having done films like "Ugly", "Fitoor" and "Jai Gangaajal", Rahul
is entering into a different zone with "Union Leader". Does it mark a new
journey for him in the industry?
Rahul said: "I am very thankful that
opportunities that are coming my way. This year looks very good. I have 'Union
Leader' releasing on January 19, and then I have 'DaasDev' in March and probably
'Chakki' in June. There are more... I have five to six releases this year."
Written, directed and produced by Sanjay Patel, "Union Leader" also features
Tillotama Shome, Jayesh More, Samvedna Suwalka and Jay Vithlani. The film is
releasing on January 19.
