Manoj Bajpai in 'Fareb' |
The roles he plays do not have larger than life images but belong to the mainstream of the society - the middle class victim unleashing and venting his anger, as he did in 'Satya' and 'Shool'. This time in 'Fareb', however, it s a different proposition. Meet Manoj Bajpai in an interview with Vickey Lalwani:
What is 'Fareb' all about?
Aditya (Manoj Bajpai) serves as a creative director of an advertising agency. His wife Neha (Shilpa Shetty) is medical practitioner. He enjoys a happy family life with his wife and son. Ria (Shamita Shetty) is a married corporate honcho and a client of Aditya's ad-agency. Due to the nature of the job the two meet regularly and in time Ria begins to draw emotionally close to Aditya. He spurns her in the beginning but eventually he succumbs to her charms. This leads to a rift between Aditya and his wife. Then the unthinkable happens. Ria's husband is found murdered. Being the prime suspect, Aditya is arrested. I have revealed more than enough (smiles)..
What is the USP of 'Fareb', apart from being the Shetty sisters' first film together?
'Fareb' is a romantic thriller. I think the USP of the film is definitely the performances. I'm sure people will say, "What's new about a husband and a wife and the other woman kind of story?" But then, what are Hindi films about anyway? It's always the case of old wine in a new bottle. It's the presentation that counts. |
