Main Atal Hoon actor Sachin Parikh will be next seen in a film titled Bajrang Aur Ali releasing this Friday (7th June). Sachin speaks about his role and also the thoughts that went behind the title. He says,”It’s an apt title not only for the plot of the film, but also for the audience to generate curiosity to go and watch the film. As the title suggests it is a story about two friends, their bond and their respective religions.The idea for bringing a subject like this and throwing a strong message to the society was one of the reasons to take up this film. The story is revovlving around these 2 main characters Bajrang and Ali. I love to portray roles which are not close to my life. I am Hindu by religion and I have to play a Muslim character. I am born and brought up in a metro citiy like Mumbai and I have to play a character based in a small town like Ujjain.“
He also adds, ”Ali is a guy who stays in Ujjain in a joint Muslim family. Bajrang is his childhood friend and they have such a strong bond as friends that no religion or any community differences can break it. He is so close to Bajrang and his family that he has also adapted few things like reciting Hanuman Chalisa and shlokas. My co-actor and director Jaiveer Sharma both are the same guy Bajrang himself. He is such a hardworking and talented man and has indepth knowledge about every bit of filmmaking. The entire film was shot in Ujjain, Madhya pradesh, we had a great time with our co stars like Riddhi Punjani, Gauri Shankar on set. There were certain unforgettable experiences. But one lovely experience was shooting for a Holi song. I got an opportunity to play Holi with all the locals out there and it was so much fun. The playback for that song is done by Daler Mahendi.” The film has a tagline of ‘Desh ko jodne wali film’ on this Sachin says,”It is a strong USP of the film. There are couple of numbers which are very melodious and sung by Udit Narayan and Daler Mehendi.” Sachin, who has been quite known in Hindi and Gujrati industry, feels every actor’s dream is to see themselves on big screen.
He says,”Films give a sense of satisfaction as an actor and puts a long lasting impact on the viewer’s mind. It is like a novel which can be opened up any point of time to read for years and years to come.”
