Going into Faraaz, Aditya Rawal understood the duty of enjoying a personality that belongs to a faith, which has been sadly stereotyped in Hindi cinema. The actor, who performs radicalised teen Nibras within the hostage drama, wished to guarantee that he portrayed completely different points of Islam appropriately. That is the place director Hansal Mehta stepped in, approaching the topic with the sensitivity and accuracy it deserves. “There is a danger in depicting a faith that you just don’t belong to. So, Hansal sir roped within the movie’s affiliate author, Ekhlaq Ahmed Khan, for workshops. [He taught us] tips on how to recite suras, [helped us] perceive some aspects of the faith, and the way the identical level will be interpreted in two methods, which can also be what the movie is about,” begins the actor.

Faraaz, starring debutant Zahaan Kapoor within the titular function, revolves across the 2016 assault on the Holey Artisan Bakery in Dhaka, the place terrorists held clients hostage for over 12 hours earlier than killing over 20 of them. Noting {that a} story so delicate could possibly be simply misrepresented, Aditya credit Mehta, and writers Kashyap Kapoor, Raghav Kakker and Ritesh Shah for infusing it with empathy. “From our first assembly, Hansal sir and I sensed the route we wished to take for Nibras. Numerous radicalised kids are weak, lonely and get [influenced by] the unsuitable type of individuals. They are clever, pushed boys who might have turn into world leaders. Instead, they had been taken down this darkish path.”
While the movie is about to release tomorrow, Aditya — who was just lately seen in Aar Ya Paar — has earned a nod of approval from actor-father Paresh Rawal. He says he’ll treasure his father’s praise for years to come back. “My father was fairly moved by the movie. He stated that I ought to think about myself fortunate as actors often get such tales after spending years within the trade.”
