There are bound to be jitters when it’s your first film. But for debutant director Devang Bhavsar, it has also been accompanied by a year-long wait. With Blackout slated to drop on JioCinema this week, Bhavsar says, “It has been a long wait to release the film. The nature of this industry keeps changing. Sometimes, a direct-to-web release is the norm, and at other times, a theatrical release before OTT is expected.”
Regardless of the medium, he is eager to see Blackout reach the audience. The comedy thriller—starring Vikrant Massey, Mouni Roy and Sunil Grover—follows the protagonist as he chances upon a car loaded with gold and cash, thus setting off a chain of events. For the director, who made his way into films through ads and production, it’s a big moment. “I have been working for 13 years. It wasn’t easy getting to this point. I’m lucky that I got amazing actors like Vikrant sir and Sunil sir. After Vikrant sir read the script, he encouraged us to do multiple readings to crack the character’s tone. Sunil sir is an improvisation king.”
