Sachin Khedekar in 'Bose the Forgotten Hero' |
Go on...
Such a production in India has no infrastructural support. There are no trained people to deal with period films, so you have to look into everything yourself and that is the most exhausting part of making a period film. In the West, you could just buy the support; here you spend a lot of time putting things together.
What were your personal efforts to get into the skin of the character?
I worked for months with Shernaz Patel (English theatre actress, who recently played Rani Mukerji's mother in 'Black') to get rid of my Marathi accent and improve my English, listened to tapes of Bose's speeches, if you agree, Bose spoke with a slight Bengali accent, worked on his posture, for Bose carried himself with dignity and never slouched.
Could you elaborate a bit on the film?
The film captures the last five years of Netaji's life from the time he escaped house arrest in Kolkata to build an army of 80,000 soldiers. |
