An Indian actor Subrat Dutta is currently gearing up for his upcoming movie title ‘Sameer‘ and about the movie he says that the movie is not about terrorism. He says that the movie will be a fictional story, which is inspired by the 21 blasts that happened in Ahmedabad on July 26, 2008. In that terrorist attack, more than 56 people died and over 200 people were injured. The movie features Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Anjali Patil, Chinmay Mandlekar, Seema Biswas, Manoj Shah, Alok Gagdeka, and Master Shubham Bajrange. The movie is directed by Dakxin Bajrange Chhara.
About the movie, he says, that it is a political thriller movie, which will be based on the recent political scenarios and it is not about terrorism, it is on the idea of terrorism from where did it all started and why it has increased to such an extent. The world has developed so much still why terrorism is proving to be a problem for us.
In the movie actor, Subrat Dutta will be playing the role of an Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) officer and he says that playing the role of an ATS is not an easy task. When asked what were his references to playing such a character. He says, “Meeting an ATS officer in Ahmedabad and an old co-actor’s ATS husband helped him prepare for the role.” He added, “On a subconscious level, I was inspired by them (real ATS officers) while doing this role. The character is not very glamorous; it’s like a normal simple man whose job is to encounter people. How he deals with all the problems on the field, how he struggles to gather information, how he manages to work under pressure, that’s the character is all about. I have managed to incorporate everything into the character to create Mr. Desai (his character name) on screen.”
Earlier, Nana Patekar in the movie titled “Ab Tak Chhappan” has also played the role of an encounter specialist. When asked if there is any similarity between both the characters. On this Subrat says that there is no similarity between the characters but there is a similarity between their situations. In his film, he already has an information beforehand about the blast and their job is to stop the blast from happening.
Subrat is very well-known for his Hindi movie ‘Madholal-Keep Walking’ and for that he has won the Best Actor Award. He has also appeared in the International Competition Category at the 33rd Cairo International Film Festival in 2009 and for his Bengali film ‘BIBAR’
