Actor Trio Pratik Gandhi, Abhishek Banerjee, and Faisal Malik Join Forces in Director Sumit Purohit's Production 'Baaghi Bechare'
Unleashing Precocious Talents: 'Baaghi Bechare' Gathers A-Listers
Brace yourself, movie fans! Some of Bollywood's biggest stars are teaming up for a groundbreaking venture, the debut feature of writer-editor Sumit Purohit. This cinematic gem, titled 'Baaghi Bechare', is shaping up to be a satirical masterpiece with an all-star cast. Front and center are Pratik Gandhi, who's been blowing minds with his breakout performance in SonyLIV's 'Scam 1992 - The Harshad Mehta Story', and Abhishek Banerjee, known for his scene-stealing turns in Prime Video's 'Paatal Lok' and last year's box-office smash 'Stree 2' (Variety).
Lending literary muscle to the project is Prime Video's 'Mirzapur' creator Puneet Krishna, joining as co-writer.
Joining the ranks of this transformative phase of Indian cinema is Prime Video's 'Panchayat' standout Faisal Malik, describing the project as a vital part of this evolving era of Asian cinema.
For Purohit, a 2020/2021 BAFTA Breakthrough India participant, satire serves as a vital tool for cultural commentary. He explains, "Satire is a release valve. It helps us face uncomfortable truths that are too outrageous to believe yet undeniably real. Collaborating with such a creative and talented team on this journey instills hope that we can continue telling authentic and fearless stories reflective of our times."
'Baaghi Bechare' signals a burgeoning courage among established performers to branch out from traditional commercial fare. Gandhi, fresh off his comedy gig in 'Madgaon Express', expresses the creative liberation found in independent filmmaking. He declares, "It's exhilarating to be part of a film born from genuine artistic collaboration and craft. The absence of typical market pressures creates a unique atmosphere. As an actor, being in such an environment is nothing short of inspiring. It engenders a sense of duty to uphold and embrace its mission."
