It’s rarely easy making your first feature film. But your drive and ambition to see it through and make your vision translate on celluloid can do wonders. Director Niddhish Puuzhakkal, who has gained knowledge from the best film schools and has helmed several noted ad films, is nearing the completion of the shoot of his debut feature film, titled `Ego`.
Niddhish’s debut is a psychological thriller that reunites actor Arshad Warsi and Juhi Chawla after 14 years. They were last seen together in the film `Krazzy 4`. Getting actors of their caliber to believe in his vision and the script was just the tip of the iceberg of the challenges he faced in the process of making this film. “When people watch the film, I don`t know if they see all that effort, hard work, and sacrifices one goes through for a project to happen. People look at it and they say, okay, they like it or they don`t like it. With the trolling culture that we have on social media, people don`t think about the amount of hard work that goes behind every movie,” he mulls, adding that he has been `through hell and back` to make this film happen.
Niddhish is also of the opinion that a film needs to be narrated entertainingly. “I always say, it is not the size of the film. It does not require 1000 people dancing in the background. You need to have a very compelling story. If you make a viewer feel connected with the characters, engage them with the plot, and get them entertained, then we have a good film in hand”.
