Will not take liberty with film subject: Shoojit Sircar
Mumbai
April 9,2018
Filmmaker Shoojit Sircar, who will be venturing into period drama with biopic
based on revolutionary Udham Singh, said that he will not take liberty with the
subject until he can authenticate it.
"I will take the liberty as to what
I can authenticate as that person, not to sell my film," Shoojit said on Sunday
at the promotional interview for his forthcoming film 'October'.
He also
added that sometimes Bollywood directors take unnecessary advantage of their
situation as a filmmaker.
"I will not compromise anything just for the
sake of commercial pressure. I will be as genuine as possible," he added.
Bollywood recently saw controversies related to period drama films that
included Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone starrer 'Padmaavat' and then Kangana
Ranaut's 'Manikarnika'.
Currently, Shoojit is promoting his movie
'October' that has stars Varun Dhawan and Banita Sandhu in the lead.
Talking about 'October', Shoojit said, "It is a very simple film. After the
trailer we've been getting responses like it is intriguing, thriller or suspense
film, there is nothing like that, it is a very simple story. Not a love story,
but it is a story about love."
'October' is written by Juhi Chaturvedi
and produced by Ronnie Lahiri and Sheel Kumar under Rising Sun Films banner and
scheduled to release on April 13.
