There is bound to be immense curiosity when the late Shashi Kapoor’s grandson makes his Hindi film debut. But Zahan Kapoor wants people to watch Faraaz with the expectation of a good film, not as a star-kid’s launch vehicle. “My biggest fear is this being construed as the debut film of a Kapoor. If you are coming in with that expectation, you will be disappointed,” he says.
Hansal Mehta’s directorial venture, also starring Aditya Rawal, recounts the 2016 terrorist attack at the Holey Artisan Bakery in Dhaka, Bangladesh, where five gunmen held customers hostage for 12 hours and killed over 20 of them. Zahan plays the eponymous character, a young boy who stood on the right side of faith and humanity in the face of violence. “This film is not about a character who is prepared to be on a mission; here, the character emerges. Hansal sir’s choice was to show that the guy was caught in an experience, and was compelled to stand by his belief,” explains Zahan.
