How can people blame me for saying a dialogue when it is Ravana saying it? In Mahabharata, too, wherever there is Krishna someone will have to perform Kansa. It’s a simple musical love story with ramleela as the backdrop.Īlso, as someone playing Ravana onstage, I will have to perform certain lines. It’s about the actors who perform these characters. Ours is not a literal film about Ram or Ravana. There are some 30-odd interpretations of the Ramayana around the world. The film has been accused of misinterpreting the Ramayana. The film shows you the whole life of these actors, how they live, stay, what are their conflicts… In theatre, I had been in lots of mythological and costume dramas. It’s a musical form and is close to ramleela. It traditionally has two narrators, male and female, who take you through the story. It is a popular theatre form in my state.
I can’t say what it is but I agree that something has.ĪLSO READ|| Pratik Gandhi-starrer Raavan Leela retitled to BhavaiĬoming from Gujarati theatre, were you familiar with the world of Bhavai troupes? It is difficult to understand and digest beyond a point. Something has changed dramatically for sure. Do you think something has changed in the last few years? We’ve had a tradition of satirical films like PK and OMG: Oh My God! becoming popular hits. I’m sure they know well what to do with the film. My director and producers are much more experienced people. Furthermore, I’m the newcomer in this scenario. It was not a consultation but yes, it was discussed. Were you consulted when the makers decided to change the title and delete a contentious dialogue? It could be that the whole thing was taken as an opportunity for people with some other agenda. I don’t even know if the trolls are real people or bots. My own family has been suffering because of that. The kind of filthy language they use… we don’t have any laws for that. Everything I say or tweet, it will be taken in a different light. Without watching a film, some people were misunderstanding it. How did you feel when the film’s trailer was attacked over a month before release? “(The trolls) are already proving it.” Here, the actor reflects on growing intolerance towards the arts and the pitfalls of success. Everything from his Gandhi surname to his artistic integrity was mocked online.“Our film has a simple message,” Pratik says, noting our difficulty to distinguish between fiction and life. Pratik, making his Hindi feature debut after Scam 1992, took the most heat. A defamation notice was sent to the makers for allegedly hurting religious sentiments and glorifying the figure of Ravana in a dialogue (it has since been removed). A satire on separating life from art, Bhavai fell prey to a loud trolling campaign when its trailer dropped on September 9. But the film didn’t have to wait till release day to make its point. Their onstage characters-they portray Ravana and Sita in folk Bhavai plays, an old theatre form in Gujarat-give cause for a local outrage driven by blind faith and communal politics. Previously titled Raavan Leela, Hardik Gajjar’s film follows two ramleela performers in love. Haveli )ġ1715 Bellfort Vilalge Dr.Pratik Gandhi sees the irony dogging his forthcoming release, Bhavai.
