Nitesh Tiwari Explains How Hitler & World War II References Helped Make An Impactful Arc In Bawaal
Nitesh Tiwari, the film's director, claimed that "Bawaal" is a unique coming-of-age story since it draws heavily on his own experiences.
In the romance drama starring Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor, Ajay "Ajju" Dixit, a high school history teacher, is a little celebrity in his village. The movie follows the path of World War II through Europe and reveals the marital struggles of the main couple, leading Ajay to face his inner conflict.
At the renowned ocean line and hotel Queen Elizabeth II in Dubai, the "Bawaal" trailer debuted.
Talking about the references, he said as per BollywoodHungama, ¡°While creating a character, you can go back and look at the events and incidents which can play an important role in the overall arc of that character and the relationship in general. It¡¯s not just about Hitler. There are many more things that you may not have seen in the trailer. Every incident has been very carefully chosen that can have an impact on the overall arc."
"World War II is humongous. There¡¯s so much that had happened and you can¡¯t take everything. You¡¯ve to pick and choose things which would probably impact the journey of the characters and that¡¯s precisely why it [World War II as a backdrop] has been taken. Hitler also happens to be a part of it and you can¡¯t not have him in World War II,¡± he added.
Janhvi Kapoor On How She Bagged The Role
According to Pinkvilla she said,? "I was pinching myself every day because it was such a big opportunity for me to work with everyone. I tried really hard to convince them to take me in the film. I chased them and I stalked Nitesh sir and Sajid sir quite a bit.¡±
Sharing a light smile, Janhvi Kapoor further added, "I troubled them a lot. And then when I finally got the film, it felt very special to be on the set with such talented people every day and that too, to tell such a special story. I was honestly in disbelief."
?Bawaal is a timeless love story produced by Sajid Nadiadwala's production company Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment in association with Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari and Nitesh Tiwari's Earthsky Pictures.
