New
Delhi, Jan 17
The Naseeruddin Shah starrer "Parzania" is set to hit the screens
Jan 26 and the star actor says that the aim is to convey the trauma
of a family who lost their son during the Gujarat riots and not to
start any controversy.
"The last thing films like this needs is controversy. It would be an
immense favour to us if the word controversy is used with a little
responsibility because we do not want to fan flames. We want this
film to stand on its own merit, if it has and if it doesn't, then we
are content to accept the verdict.
"But the judgement of the people, who buy the tickets and go into
the hall with open minds, will be more important. And I think if
there is less talk of trouble it will be better for the film," said
Shah at a press meet here Wednesday.
Naseeruddin also said that they didn't give much emphasis on
acquiring accurate Parsi dialects or body language to play the
roles.
"It is not important to play these characters as Parsis, which is
why we didn't not think it right to meet Dara Modi and his wife.
Because it would have made them feel like Ginny pigs that we have
come to observe them and they were tormented enough anyway.
"It was more important to behave like an ordinary people because it
was more crucial for the story. So, we didn't bother too much about
Parsi dialect or body language. We decided to play them as ordinary
human beings," he added.
Seasoned actress Sarika, who plays Naseeruddin's wife in the film,
directed by NRI filmmaker Rahul Dholakia, says that there is huge
responsibility on them to convey the story as convincingly as
possible.
"The responsibility on all of us was to carry that story because we
are into media and we can bring it out. Otherwise there are so many
families who have bore more losses than this but nobody knows about
it. Either scribes write it or TV shows it, all of us are just
trying it to take it to the people," said Sarika.
For Dholakai it was a mammoth task to commercially release the film
and now when the film is set to hit the screens he has no
apprehensions in releasing in Gujarat.
"I don't see any problem. I genuinely believe that people in Gujarat
really want to see the film. It happened there, the boy was lost
there and most of all the family wants it to be seen. I think people
are very matured to understand it."
