Rangrezz stars Jackky Bhagnani and Priya Anand in lead roles.
Highlights
- Producer Vashu Bhagnani says he was initially sceptical about his son Jackky playing a realistic role in Rangrezz but director Priyadarshan convinced him and now he is happy with the decision.
- "He (Priyadarshan) believed that Jackky will play this role well. That time he had started shooting for Ajab Gazabb Love. I was sceptical about Jackky carrying a realistic look - whether he will be able to do it or not," Bhagnani said in an interview.
- "But Santoshji (Santosh Sivan) and Priyadarshanji called me and said, 'Trust me, your son has a lot of potential and you will go mad when you will see the film. Let me make it and you watch it when it is done.' I watched it some time back and he (Jackky) has given a fantastic performance," he added.
- Releasing on March 21, Rangrezz, which also stars Priya Anand and Rajpal Yadav, is about four friends and the ups and downs in their lives.
- Vashu Bhagnani, known for producing high-end commercial films like Coolie No. 1, Hero No. 1, Biwi No.1 and many more, says he is trying a realistic drama for the first time.
- "I have definitely not made a film of this kind before, I have not been associated with realistic films. Glamour, larger than life, foreign tour, 500 dancers dancing, I believe more in that school of filmmaking," he said.
- "But when I thought from Jackky's point of view and that if we are able to make a good film, that will be a new-age cinema for me. I was scared initially, but now I am happy," added the filmmaker.
