You call it a biography, you call it a drama, call it an action movie or simply call it a question to the audience. Punjabi film ‘Rupinder Gandhi – The Gangster..?’ has been making the headlines since a few days now and the team of the film is now busy promoting it.This production of DreamReality Movies is based the life of Sarpanch Rupinder Singh Gandhi from Khanna (Punjab) who was a prolific sportsman and a daring leader who sacrificed his own dreams for weak and downtrodden. Directed by young director Tarn Mann and produced by Daljit Singh Bola, Ravneet Chahal and Taranvir Singh, the film stars Dev Khroud and Kul Sidhu in lead roles. Tarn, Daljit and Dev were in town today to interact with the media.
There are many negative and positive things in the air about this film but writer-director Tarn Mann is keeping his profile low and has been very politely attending the media queries. He said, “I think everyone should take it as a piece of art first because so many people have worked really hard to make the film. Secondly, if you talk about the subject of the film, we are not really trying to be judgmental. As you see our title has a question to the audience, so they will decide themselves about what has been shown in the film.”
TV and film actor Dev Khroud is keeping his fingers crossed for this film and believes that this project will prove beneficial for his career. He said, “For any actor playing a real life character is beneficial. Here advantage is that the protagonist is from Punjab itself and I could relate comfortably with him as an actor. The film required a lot of hard work and that gives me a creative satisfaction which is above anything else.”Producer Daljit Singh Bola said that the film is a conscious effort towards changing the definition of Punjabi cinema. We equally love the comedy flicks but as entertainers we take it as our duty to give a new direction to our industry. I hope this film will open new doors of creativity.The film is releasing on 11th September all over.
