A theatre artiste and content specialist, Anmol Sidhu has revealed he has watched filmmaker Anurag Kashyap바카라s videos to shoot his Punjabi feature film 바카라Jaggi바카라.
Presented at the 바카라India Unveiled바카라 section of the Cinevesture International Film Festival (CIFF), 바카라Jaggi바카라 is a 117-minute film directed, written and edited by Anmol.
The film's lead actor is Ramnish Chaudhary, who plays Jagdeep Singh aka Jaggi. It also features Harmandeep Singh, Gaurav Kumar, Shivam Kamboj and Aks Mehra in pivotal roles.
The movie addresses issues like discrimination, sexual abuse, and mental health.
He said: 바카라I watched Anurag Kashyap sir바카라s videos. He has said in the videos that we can make films with the help of a phone, a film can be made from the left out reels. So, I purchased a camera, I didn바카라t know how to handle it, so I roped in a wedding photographer from my village. He taught us how to use the cameras, he has shot some of the film.바카라
Anmol, who comes from Kauloke in Bathinda, Punjab, said the entire shooting has been done in his village only.
The young filmmaker went on to say, 바카라Like I took the camera, watched videos on YouTube and figured out how to operate the camera, and then we made the film. The same way other filmmakers are also doing. They are making films on their phones. You can get a camera within one lakh and it becomes easy to shoot a short film. And I think one should make short films to make a feature film.바카라
If he faced any financial challenges while making this movie, Anmol, who is also known for his short film 바카라The Last Tree바카라 said: 바카라I made 바카라Jaggi바카라 through crowdfunding, and more of a relationship funding. My friends have given me money to make this film. For me money is not a problem to make a film.바카라
Anmol said shooting in a village on such a topic was very challenging. 바카라We had one person in the crew, so villagers used to gather and think that something was happening," he recalled.
"There is a scene in the movie in which a girl is roaming around in the fields. What we see in the movies, in reality, is very tough. It바카라s impossible to see a girl running in the fields in real life, that we usually watch on the screens,바카라 Anmol said.
He added: 바카라When I had to bring my heroine to the fields in the movie, I took extra care, so that there is no controversy in the village. Since, it was a year for us shooting for the film, so the villagers had some understanding that we are doing something. But, I didn바카라t tell the villagers on which topic I am making the film.바카라
바카라Jaggi바카라 revolves around a schoolboy from rural Punjab who encounters impotence and is mistaken to be homosexual.
Reflecting upon the issue being addressed in the film, and its acceptance in society, Anmol said: 바카라This is a very common story about village people which sounds very rare. But it바카라s not, it's very common stuff. The movie is accepted, because it has been screened in various film festivals, and people are watching it.바카라
He added: 바카라People message me as they want to see it. They want films to be made on such topics, because in Punjab only comedy films are made. So anything that is made apart from comedy will work. So according to me people want to see more films like 바카라Jaggi바카라,바카라 he said.
Talking about the casting, Anmol said that the lead actor Ramnish was his junior in the theatre.
바카라In the film there are two versions of Jaggi -- the younger one and the older. To achieve that we took a break of six months. First we shot his childhood, then Ramnish lost weight and played the elder Jaggi,바카라 he said.
Anmol added: 바카라All of them are from theatre, they were junior artistes. They all lived near my village. So, during lockdown, we used to meet and improvise. I used to handle cameras, and Ramnish and Harman did production design, costumes, property supervision. They used to manage all this by themselves. Even during post production --- foley, sounds, dialogues -- we used to manage at our homes.바카라
