Ganapath – A Hero Is Born, starring Tiger Shroff, Kriti Sanon and Amitabh Bachchan, is all set to launch in cinemas tomorrow, that’s, October 20. Bollywood Hungama completely spoke to director Vikas Bahl in regards to the movie and much more.
EXCLUSIVE: Vikas Bahl reveals, “Whereas prepping for Ganapath, I used to see making movies of S S Rajamouli and Sukumar’s movies” additionally says, “I hope we are able to crack the story of Queen 2”
For the reason that time you debuted as a director, you will have by no means repeated a style. How do you handle to take action? Not many filmmakers may obtain this feat…
Possibly, I identical to totally different sorts of tales. Whereas doing so, it’s important to break the style. I believe it’s a relentless studying curve. When you’re switching genres, you’re all the time nervous as as to if or not you’ll be able to pull it off. I like that nervousness. Possibly, the scholar inside me desires to always continue learning the best way to strive new genres. After I was doing this movie and even the subsequent one (a horror), I used to take a seat for hours on YouTube and watch movies on how these movies are made and the way these genres are performed. So, it was nearly like going again to highschool. That’s thrilling for me. I don’t need to get right into a consolation zone that ‘that is my style, that is what I need to do for the subsequent 10-15 years.’ I’d fairly strive new issues.
How troublesome was it to get the futuristic ingredient proper, particularly for a Hindi movie contemplating that we don’t have many reference factors in our cinema?
Extra than simply in regards to the future, I used to be attempting to pen a narrative that any calamity on this planet results in inequality within the sense that the wealthy get richer as they profit from it. However the poor get poorer. This occurs throughout any disaster, whether or not man-made or a pure catastrophe. That is the essential premise of the movie. Since it’s primarily based on the hypothetical state of affairs of the subsequent greatest calamity that occurs on the planet, I needed to set it sooner or later as a result of it couldn’t occur earlier. Therefore, the concept was not simply to make a futuristic story.
Years in the past, Shekhar Kapur tried a movie known as Paani. It was additionally set sooner or later and was in regards to the water disaster. Have been you impressed by its plot possibly behind your thoughts?
Shekhar sir is just too senior and I believe too good (smiles). I don’t know a lot about Paani. I find out about it simply as anyone else is aware of. However I’m certain he would have made an unbelievable spectacle. Even when I’m remotely near what we got down to do, I believe I’d be good!
You grew to become a power to reckon with, with Queen (2014). The identical 12 months, Tiger Shroff and Kriti Sanon debuted with Heropanti (2014) and have become in a single day stars. How was it to collaborate with two fellow artists for whom 2014 was additionally a defining 12 months?
Now that you simply informed me and I notice it, it feels good (laughs)! I don’t suppose any of us considered it. We by no means sat and mentioned this connection.
Tiger Shroff will not be seen doing typical motion within the movie. Kriti Sanon, in the meantime, is making an attempt motion for the primary time. How thrilling was it for you and them as effectively?
Sure. The benefit of Ganapath and hopefully it’ll even be a shock for the viewers is that Tiger is simply not doing motion within the movie. He has performed lots of humourous, emotional and dramatic scenes. He has a giant character arc. Motion is the bottom of it however will not be the first attribute. I all the time discovered him very harmless. He has his personal little world of motion, workouts and exercises. I liked that innocence. I wished him for his innocence as a lot as I wished him for his motion. Despite the fact that I had by no means labored with him and even met him earlier than, I used to be right about how he’s.
As for Kriti, she’s an excellent actor. She has lots of motion within the movie and has performed an excellent job. She has this skill that she will be able to pierce via your eyes and ship the dialogue. She’s additionally tall and appears completely convincing whereas taking over the goons.
You labored with Amitabh Bachchan, first in Goodbye (2022) and now Ganapath. It will need to have been a excessive, wasn’t it?
On a regular basis, he walks on the set, it’s important to pinch your self that he is aware of me and he is aware of my title, overlook the truth that he’s in my movie. He was extraordinarily beneficiant. He knew I used to be attempting to place up a movie like Ganapath collectively. He knew it was formidable. He noticed the artwork and temper boards and informed me, ‘Vikas, if I may help you make this movie in any approach, inform me’. I pounced on the chance and informed him, ‘Sir, ek function karenge mere liye’! He did it purely out of affection. He stated, ‘Something for you. Simply go and make this movie’.
The movie’s post-production took a 12 months. There are lots of green-screen pictures. And that is your most VFX-heavy movie. Please inform us about your expertise…
It has been an exceptional studying expertise with regards to VFX. I simply hope that everybody helps this reality. When you’re doing it for the primary time, you’re simply studying. You aren’t a grasp on the craft. I bear in mind for days, I used to see making movies of S S Rajamouli’s movies. I used to grasp how he used to make use of the inexperienced display and used to take a look at the ‘earlier than VFX’ and ‘after VFX’ pictures. I additionally used to observe Sukumar sir’s making movies. It’s nearly like a tutorial put up on YouTube. By now, the worry of VFX has gone away. Now we are able to write tales with none boundaries. You may think about something and you’ll pull it off on the display.
Earlier, Ganapath – A Hero Is Born was known as Ganapath – Half 1. Is a sequel within the pipeline?
It’s nonetheless half 1. We simply determined to name it ‘A Hero Is Born’. There’s the intention of doing a sequel. We hope it’s obtained effectively and other people find it irresistible as a result of that is the beginning of the journey of the protagonist.
Will the sequel be known as Ganapath – A Hero Guidelines?
After you watch the movie, why don’t you ship me the title of the sequel? (laughs)
That is the age of sequels. Would you prefer to make a sequel to Queen? We might like to know what occurred to Rani (Kangana Ranaut) and what she’s doing 10 years after the occasions of the primary movie…
Queen 2 is all the time a really tempting choice. However the temptation must be that we discover an excellent story to inform and never simply exploit the industrial profit out of it. I actually hope we crack the story for the sequel in order that I could make Queen 2. I might love to try this.
