Monday, 25th August, 2014, 06:30 PM IST In Prakash Jha’s ‘Aarakshan’ Prateik Babbar played a student caught in the middle of a moral conflict. After this he played a modern-day Romeo fond of “girls and guns” in his last film, ‘Issaq’. This rebellious streak of Prateik goes on as he will now be seen in a film titled‘Robin Hood Ke Pote.’
A source close to the development revealed,“Prateik is desperate in need of a hit to revive his career. He wants to re-establish himself as a serious actor with this film.” Elaborating on the story, our source added, “It’s about a bunch of bandits who take on the system. The film is largely set in Bhopal and will be shot on real locations.” Pradeep Singrole marks his directorial debut of the film. He has assisted Imtiaz Ali on ‘Jab We Met.’ He was also the associate director of the Hollywood film, ‘Bhopal: A Prayer for Rain’. A superstitious Prateik refused to give any comments when contacted. However, his co-star in the film, Anshuman Jha,confirmed the news, saying, “I was supposed to do ‘Aarakshan’ but the role eventually went to Prateik while he was to do ‘Yeh Hai Bakrapur’ which landed on my lap. Finally, we have a film together. It is a gripping plot with an interesting director. We should be ready for release next year.” |
