I would like to assure that I have handled a film like Kai Po Che before, which dealt with a sensitive matter. Otherwise there was no reason to behave like that. Someone must have heard about the ideology before and said that someone is going to hurt something. We had put out a 1-minute teaser and people felt so strongly about it. Some bodies had asserted that it promotes love jihad. Har Har Mahadev means Shiva is in each one of us. No matter if you are a Hindu or a Muslim or a Christian, if you have a sense of kindness, Shiva resides in you. The simplest and the most important part about having a Shiva quality is - if you have a desire to sacrifice for your fellow human beings. The greatest of thinkers can write books on him. That is one of the reasons we have made the film. There is lot of loss and a lot of feeling. I have seen the people who have suffered and have lost their dear ones in the floods. I have seen how it has damaged the place. It is a noble gesture.Īs far as I am concerned, I have lived this devastation for almost two years now. Somewhere in his heart, he understood that pain and knows what he is doing. What we have seen with our own eyes can change the way we look at the world. He would feel what kind of devastation these floods can create. Somewhere along the line, he has shot his own film. How the film has changed you as a person. Sushant Singh donated around Rs 1.25 crore for the Nagaland flood victims. So we built a massive set in a 120 feet long water tank for the sequences. A lot of live action happened when we were shooting the flood scenes. I got some technicians flown from abroad for the action sequences. This is a very difficult backdrop to execute, for which I got a fabulous team. Half the film has been shot at the location. How much of the film has been shot in real locations. To still be curious about your craft when you are at the top of your game is what matters. This time, if he can keep his nuances intact was the biggest challenge.
He was a 100% professional actor the first time around. On the first day of the shoot, he was a pro. In the case of Sushant, when I first worked with him, he brought another experience. What major change you noticed in him as an actor. You have worked with him after five years. You directed Sushant Singh Rajput in his debut film Kai Po Che.
So to get her to that level was a task in itself but she was very determined and has worked very hard. The cast and crew were all professionals. She had no experience in acting, and the kind of film it is, there were some serious responsibilities and a very important backdrop. When you come to a set, you have a craft and a job at hand. So how it is to work with a newcomer, especially a star kid? Saif Ali Khan’s daughter Sara marks her debut with Kedarnath. In an exclusive interview with Hindustan Times, Abhishek spoke about how difficult was shooting the film, its holy setting and launching star kid Sara Ali Khan. With the holy pilgrimage of Kedarnath as its setting, the film also tells the love story of a Muslim porter and a Hindu tourist during the devastating 2013 Uttarakhand floods. The trailer of the film, which had to deal with several controversies and production hassles, has been received well by the audiences. “The safe evacuation is a testimony to the responsiveness of the IAF in support of the civilian administration and the skill of IAF aircrew,” the official said.Director Abhishek Kapoor is finally set to witness the release of his film Kedarnath on December 7.
