Coming soon, a Marathi movie inspired by Hazare
Pune, Sep 3 (PTI) In a celluloid tribute to Anna Hazare's
resolve to fight corruption with non-violent methods, a
Marathi film will capture the inspirational and magnetic pull
of the anti-graft crusader's personality that has caught the
imagination of the country.
The film wants to convey that the Gandhian philosophy of
'ahimsa' (non-violence) and 'satyagraha' (peaceful resistance)
is more powerful than terrorist ideologies that are spreading
in the world, said Ganesh Shinde, director and scriptwriter of
'Mala Anna Vhaychay' (I want to become Anna).
The movie's theme revolves around a teenager from a
poor family who looks up to the Gandhian and aspires to follow
his ideals, overcoming personal frustrations. The Anna appeal
leads him into joining the anti-corruption movement.
Shinde said he had conceptualised the film last year
before Hazare's anti-graft movement gathered a sustained
momentum this year.
"We will make a request to Anna to take part in some
of the scenes of the proposed venture. The idea is project
Anna's philosophy and endeavour as an activist working for the
welfare of the society."
Being made under the banner of M S Films, the film has
a budget of Rs 60 lakh and is expected to be released on
November 13 all over Maharashtra.
The script of 'Mala Anna Vhaychay' is being revised to
incorporate the dramatic arrest, protests, release, and the
historic fast undertaken by the veteran social activist in
Delhi last month. Parts of the 74-year-old Gandhian's life journey and
formative years will be interwoven in the protagonist's story
as flashbacks, running along with the teenager's trials and
tribulations after failing a board examination and rejection
in a love affair.
The film will go on floors shortly after the ongoing
Ganesh festival and some sequences will be shot in and around
Ralegan Siddhi, the native village of Hazare in Ahmednagar
district of Western Maharashtra.
Shinde said his unit had shot some events of the
Ramlila Ground agitation in Delhi that stole the national
limelight, and some parts of the footage would be included in
the film. "We are also seeking Anna's audience to discuss the
film project."
Noted Marathi actor Arun Nalavade will the play the role
of Hazare in the film, which includes eminent Marathi film
personalities like Mohan Joshi, Vikram Gokhale, Priya Berde
and Ramesh Bhatkar.
