Director Tigmanshu Dhulia, who will be depicting the role of
megastar Shah Rukh Khan's father in Anand L Rai's next, where Shah Rukh is essaying
a dwarf, tells he wanted to be part of the project to see how it is done.
"I do very few films as an actor but when a filmmaker
friend feels that I can do justice to certain role and when I need some money then
only I do a film. It's a very technical film in which Shah Rukh is playing a
character of dwarf so I wanted to see how it is made because when Kamal Hassan
(Appu Raja) did it, that time he did that with folded legs and VFX facility
also wasn't available," told Tigmanshu at the trailer launch of his forthcoming
movie "Raagdesh" on Thursday.
"So, to know that process, I did this film. It's a very
time consuming film where you have to give the best effort because you have to
shoot each shot with 3 to 4 different approaches and in each day they only used
to complete only one scene so it's a hard film to make, but they are giving
their best effort for that," he further added.
Speaking about the challenges that he faced while working on
"Raagdesh" which is based on 1945 Red Fort Trials when the Indian
National Army soldiers were court martialled by the British, Tigmanshu told,
"When you are writing a fictional story, that time writer can use his
imagination to write a story, but when you have real story, then you have to
mould it into proper film script. Then it is challenging, especially when you
don't have the permission to tamper with past facts."
"Each scene of this film is documented with the help of
some or the other books, so I haven't had any opportunity to take cinematic
liberty in this film," he further added.
"Raagdesh" features Kunal Kapoor, Amit Sadh and
Mohit marwah in lead roles.
The movie is slated to release on July 28.
