Sanjay Mishra, Producer- Director- Actor Neeraj Chauhan and actress Bhumika Gurung spoke to Dainik Bhaskar
Question/ Neeraj- What is ‘The Secret of Devakali’ for you?
answer- This is a dream that started many years ago. It has not ended yet nor will it be ahead. Because even after this there is a lot of planning. The film is based on a true incident. In the film, an attempt has been made to tell that they do not harm anyone. This film talks about the preservation of culture and nature. The film will take the audience to a different world.
Sanjay Mishra will be seen in a different role in ‘The Secret of Devkali’
Question/ Sanjay Mishra- How do you mold yourself in every character, when you were approached for the thriller film this time, what was your reaction?
answer- I am born for acting. Every person is born for different work. In which he enjoys it. I enjoy playing different characters. It is about this film, so why should I work thinking that this is a thriller film. Any film, my reaction is normal. The subject of ‘The Secret of Devkali’ is very different. The biggest thing is that Neeraj has played a lot with the sound in this film. Sound is something that binds the audience. Such films are being thought of for me, this is a thrill in itself.
Question/ Neeraj- In Pushpa 2, there was a lot of discussion about the scene of Ardhanarishwar, while such a scene is already in your film. Do you think if your film had been released earlier, then there would have been some more impact of that scene?
answer- Our film was completed in December last year. It is now being released. I have been working on the story of this film for the last eight years. The matter of ‘Pushpa 2’ was a scene of Ardhanarishwar, so her situation was different. The subject of our film and the situation of that scene is quite different from ‘Pushpa 2’.
I worked for three months for the scene of Ardhanarishwar, but no one knew about that scene. When the camera came in front, everyone came to know. During the shooting of that scene, I felt that some power was entering me. She shot him in a single shot for 35 minutes. Will upload that shot separately after the film release.
Question/ Sanjay Mishra- When films like ‘Sikander’ do not work, there is a discussion that better work is being done in South. The makers here do not have good content? South stars are able to connect to their fans, whereas not here?
answer- The cinema of our country is very good. I do not understand why we are sharing it. There is no need to divide cinema. If a South’s film brings something from Oscar, or Satyajit Ray’s Bengali films went to Oscar. So it is a matter of pride for the whole of India. It is a matter of every cinema of South and Bollywood.
Question- People also say that Bollywood films are not running because good writers do not get a chance?
answer- The biggest irony is that Bollywood films do not go to the theater and watch. Tickets so expensive that people wait for the fact that when the film comes on an OTT, we will see. Ticket prize should be work. The matter of good writers should not get a chance, so if such a thing had happened, then films like web series ‘Panchayat’ and ‘Chhava’ would not have been made.
TV actress Bhumika Gurung is making her debut in the film with ‘The Secret of Devkali’.
Question/role- You have done a lot of work on TV. When you tried for films, once you had to face the problem due to TV tag?
answer- Even today I am facing TV tag problems. People forget that many good artists have come from the TV industry. I took a two -year break from TV for films. Whenever a profile was sent for the film, people used to say here that TV actor is not needed. Fresher will work, but the TV actor will not run. Hearing it was very bad to hear, but it was not that the world was over.
There are many people who understand the value of the TV actor. Neeraj knew that I am an artist of television, yet he gave me a chance. There are many like them. Those who believe in the fact that the artist is just an artist. Even if he works in a medium.
Question/Neeraj- What message do you want to give through this film?
answer- We should love nature. Our cultural heritage should be handled. Wildlife should be protected. If we play with nature, then you will get punishment from nature at some time. Therefore, culture and nature should be taken along. Through this film, the same message has been desired.
