Ganapath – A Hero Is Born, starring Tiger Shroff, Kriti Sanon and Amitabh Bachchan, is all set to launch in cinemas tomorrow, that’s, October 20. Bollywood Hungama completely spoke to director Vikas Bahl in regards to the movie and much more.
EXCLUSIVE: Vikas Bahl reveals, “Whereas prepping for Ganapath, I used to see making movies of S S Rajamouli and Sukumar’s movies” additionally says, “I hope we are able to crack the story of Queen 2”
For the reason that time you debuted as a director, you’ve gotten by no means repeated a style. How do you handle to take action? Not many filmmakers may obtain this feat…
Possibly, I identical to completely different sorts of tales. Whereas doing so, you need to break the style. I feel it’s a relentless studying curve. If you end up switching genres, you’re all the time nervous as as to whether or not you’ll be able to pull it off. I like that nervousness. Possibly, the coed inside me desires to continuously continue learning tips on how to attempt new genres. After I was doing this movie and even the subsequent one (a horror), I used to take a seat for hours on YouTube and watch movies on how these movies are made and the way these genres are finished. So, it was virtually like going again to high school. That’s thrilling for me. I don’t wish to get right into a consolation zone that ‘that is my style, that is what I wish to do for the subsequent 10-15 years.’ I’d slightly attempt new issues.
How troublesome was it to get the futuristic factor proper, particularly for a Hindi movie contemplating that we don’t have many reference factors in our cinema?
Extra than simply in regards to the future, I used to be attempting to pen a narrative that any calamity on this planet results in inequality within the sense that the wealthy get richer as they profit from it. However the poor get poorer. This occurs throughout any disaster, whether or not man-made or a pure catastrophe. That is the essential premise of the movie. Since it’s primarily based on the hypothetical scenario of the subsequent largest calamity that occurs on the planet, I needed to set it sooner or later as a result of it couldn’t occur earlier. Therefore, the concept was not simply to make a futuristic story.
Years in the past, Shekhar Kapur tried a movie known as Paani. It was additionally set sooner or later and was in regards to the water disaster. Have been you impressed by its plot perhaps behind your thoughts?
Shekhar sir is simply too senior and I feel too good (smiles). I don’t know a lot about Paani. I find out about it simply as anyone else is aware of. However I’m positive he would have made an unbelievable spectacle. Even when I’m remotely near what we got down to do, I feel I’d be good!
You grew to become a pressure to reckon with, with Queen (2014). The identical yr, Tiger Shroff and Kriti Sanon debuted with Heropanti (2014) and have become in a single day stars. How was it to collaborate with two fellow artists for whom 2014 was additionally a defining yr?
Now that you just instructed me and I understand it, it feels good (laughs)! I don’t suppose any of us considered it. We by no means sat and mentioned this connection.
Tiger Shroff shouldn’t be seen doing typical motion within the movie. Kriti Sanon, in the meantime, is trying motion for the primary time. How thrilling was it for you and them as effectively?
Sure. The advantage of Ganapath and hopefully it’ll even be a shock for the viewers is that Tiger is simply not doing motion within the movie. He has finished a variety of humourous, emotional and dramatic scenes. He has a giant character arc. Motion is the bottom of it however shouldn’t be the first attribute. I all the time discovered him very harmless. He has his personal little world of motion, workouts and exercises. I cherished that innocence. I needed him for his innocence as a lot as I needed him for his motion. Regardless that I had by no means labored with him and even met him earlier than, I used to be appropriate about how he’s.
As for Kriti, she’s an excellent actor. She has a variety of motion within the movie and has finished an excellent job. She has this capacity that she will pierce by way of your eyes and ship the dialogue. She’s additionally tall and appears completely convincing whereas taking up the goons.

You labored with Amitabh Bachchan, first in Goodbye (2022) and now Ganapath. It will need to have been a excessive, wasn’t it?
On a regular basis, he walks on the set, you need to pinch your self that he is aware of me and he is aware of my identify, neglect the truth that he’s in my movie. He was extraordinarily beneficiant. He knew I used to be attempting to place up a movie like Ganapath collectively. He knew it was formidable. He noticed the artwork and temper boards and instructed me, ‘Vikas, if I may help you make this movie in any approach, inform me’. I pounced on the chance and instructed him, ‘Sir, ek position karenge mere liye’! He did it purely out of affection. He stated, ‘Something for you. Simply go and make this movie’.
The movie’s post-production took a yr. There are a variety of green-screen pictures. And that is your most VFX-heavy movie. Please inform us about your expertise…
It has been an exceptional studying expertise with regards to VFX. I simply hope that everybody helps this reality. If you end up doing it for the primary time, you’re simply studying. You aren’t a grasp on the craft. I keep in mind for days, I used to see making movies of S S Rajamouli’s movies. I used to grasp how he used to make use of the inexperienced display and used to take a look at the ‘earlier than VFX’ and ‘after VFX’ pictures. I additionally used to observe Sukumar sir’s making movies. It’s virtually like a tutorial put up on YouTube. By now, the worry of VFX has gone away. Now we are able to write tales with none boundaries. You may think about something and you’ll pull it off on the display.
Earlier, Ganapath – A Hero Is Born was known as Ganapath – Half 1. Is a sequel within the pipeline?
It’s nonetheless half 1. We simply determined to name it ‘A Hero Is Born’. There’s the intention of doing a sequel. We hope it’s acquired effectively and other people adore it as a result of that is the beginning of the journey of the protagonist.
Will the sequel be known as Ganapath – A Hero Guidelines?
After you watch the movie, why don’t you ship me the title of the sequel? (laughs)
That is the age of sequels. Would you prefer to make a sequel to Queen? We might like to know what occurred to Rani (Kangana Ranaut) and what she’s doing 10 years after the occasions of the primary movie…
Queen 2 is all the time a really tempting possibility. However the temptation needs to be that we discover an excellent story to inform and never simply exploit the business profit out of it. I actually hope we crack the story for the sequel in order that I could make Queen 2. I’d love to try this.
