Director Tarsem Singh has spilled beans on 바카라Dear Jassi바카라; which is his first film to be shot in India. According to him, the film takes certain threads of inspiration from his own late mother, where he wondered why a Canadian woman of Indian heritage would plot to have her daughter abducted then murdered.
바카라Dear Jassi바카라, ahead of its global release, was first premiered at the TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival), and it is touted to be a romance story, but also features grisly murder and violence.
Speaking to Deadline, Tarsem Singh said: "It is a love story, but with a grisly murder at its centre.바카라
바카라Dear Jassi바카라 is inspired by the real-life honour killing of the Indo-Canadian beautician Jaswinder Kaur Sidhu in June 2000.
The incident saw thugs ambushing the Sikh couple of Jaswinder and her husband Sidhu, who dragged the young bride to a desolate farm in a Punjabi village and slit her throat, based directly on orders given by the girl바카라s own mother.
The gangsters were also given direct support by the local police, while the woman바카라s mother was at the other end of a phone thousands of miles away in Vancouver, Canada according to court testimony and police reports.
Talking about this, Singh said: 바카라You don바카라t hear about it that much, but it바카라s more often than you think.바카라
While creating the villain, he said: 바카라The only way I could comprehend what a villainous character this person was is to think of a pure person that I know.
Despite Singh바카라's mother having nothing to do with it, the filmmaker borrowed a few traits from his mother in order to explore what happens when a good person turns evil.
바카라And I thought of my mother, and literally all I could think of was that if you put a woman like that into the situation. 바카라 I could see it happening.바카라
Singh suggested that for good people to do such bad things, there바카라s usually a culture of religion underpinning.
바카라She means well and she바카라s doing something horrific. That I saw a lot from my mother, that meaning well in the name of God or in the name of the cultural thing you바카라re tied up in. You can do some horrendous s***.바카라
He continued: 바카라But that does not justify the act at all. Not even one per cent. But you know what? I come from that culture. 바카라 It바카라s not at all justifiable under any stretch of the imagination, but when you can identify with them, it바카라s a lot more disturbing.바카라
Tarsem Singh belongs to a Sikh family from Jalandhar, though he left India at the age of 24, to pursue film studies at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena.
Soon after he began directing music, most notably; R.E.M.바카라s 바카라Losing My Religion바카라. His first movie was 2000바카라s 바카라The Cell바카라 starring Jennifer Lopez.
