Friday, 7th March, 3:32 PM Bollywood director Tigmanshu Dhulia will be casting actor Vidyut Jamwal as the junior version of Irrfan Khan in his next film, ‘Bichde Sabhi Baari Baari’. He explains that both the actors will not be sharing the same frame because they enact the younger and older versions of the same character in the film.
Tigmanshu says, “My next film is ‘Bichde Sabhi Baari Baari’. It's the story of two friends and their relationship over a period of 35 years. Manoj Bajpayee and Irrfan Khan have been cast as the older avatars of the buddies whereas Amit Sadh and Vidyut Jamwal would play the younger versions of the same characters.”
When asked if the two accomplished actors(Manoj and Irrfan) could have the talent to pull off the age span, this is what the director says, “I don't think so. Irrfan and Manoj can't look 25. That's the age when the two protagonists become friends. I can't have Irrfan and Manoj playing 25-year olds. Woh zamana kuch aur tha jab Rajesh Khanna and Mumtaz college students play karte the. Today's audience won't accept Irrfan or Manoj as 25-year olds, just as they won't accept Vidyut and Amit Sadh as a 50-year-old or a 60-year old. So, I need two sets of actors.”
As of now, Vidyut and Amit are spending time with Irrfan and Manoj to get a hang of their body language. | |||
