Actor Rajpal Yadav, director Vivek Budakoti and producer Rajita Sharma came together for a promotional event of their Pied Piper at Oshiwara, Andheri West.
The recent wake of the AAP
has a startling resemblance to Vivek Budakoti's film Pied Piper based on
a common man who suddenly becomes the Pied Piper to the entire nation
with his simplistic views and his grass root approach despite the
ambiguity on consensus by his critiques.
"We conceived and wrote the
film before the emergence of Aam Aadami Party as a creative critique of
a democratic circus on display in the current scenario of the country.
If you must, then you can find a Kejirwal in my film just like you could
find a Martin Luther King or a Mahatma Gandhi in a different avtaar but
please carry your sense of humor along. We mean no offense to any
ideology, just a satirical approach towards them!" says director Vivek
Budakoti.
Rajpal Yadav plays a
washerman who becomes the leader to millions of people with the fact
that he has no assets to declare, he is clear in his thought and doesn't
mind calling an ass an ass!
Who else can essay the common
man better than Rajpal Yadav, who with his common man looks and his
humble background has risen to become one of Bollywood's cherished
actors. With that background, the character seemed so perfect.
Pied Piper
has traveled across the globe and has over 11 prestigious Festival
selections and won the Best Film Award at the recent Delhi International
Film Festival.
