Saturday, 23rd August, 2014, 04:10 PM IST Filmmaker Deepa Mehta’s films are better called as controversial works of art. Right from the Lisa Ray and John Abraham starrer ‘Water’, or ‘Fire’ starring powerhouse performers like Shabana Azmi and Nandita Das to ‘Midnight’s Children’, all her films have provoked extreme responses.And now she is at it again...
In her next titled, ‘Beeba Boys’, Deepa has chronicled the life of the dreaded Indo-Canadian criminal Bindy Johal. Bindy, a legend to the Indian’s residing in Canada during his time, was an extremely controversial figure who was gunned down in 1998. It would be an interesting theme for a film, considering the life and list of crimes of the gangster. Randeep has spent weeks studying the life of the gangster trying to figure out why he was considered a criminal by many and a hero among the Indian community in Canada. |
