The film ‘Haasil’ has got a special place in Hindi cinema. This film showed student politics and the thinking of the youth in a very true manner. But very few people know that director Tigmanshu Dhulia had to face a lot of difficulties during the shooting of this film.
According to reports of The Indian Express, film director Tigmanshu Dhulia told. During the shooting in Allahabad, the atmosphere became so bad that he started receiving death threats.
Controversy occurred during Allahabad shooting
The story of Haasil was based on the student life of Allahabad. When the shooting of the film started there, some student organizations felt that they were being shown in a bad light in the film. Gradually the opposition increased. An angry crowd started gathering around the shooting.
Tigmanshu Dhulia told that he was threatened to be paraded in the ‘donkey parade’. He was very sad and scared after hearing this. He said that the situation had become so bad that he started crying. It was not easy for a new director to handle all this.
Jaya Bachchan took charge of the situation
When the matter escalated, Tigmanshu Dhulia asked Jaya Bachchan for help. Jaya Bachchan was active in politics at that time and had an old association with Allahabad. He immediately took this matter seriously and talked to the people. After his intervention the atmosphere calmed down and the shooting of the film could resume.
Tigmanshu admitted that Jaya Bachchan’s help at that time was a great relief for him. They felt that there was someone who was standing with them.
Manoj Bajpayee had rejected the role
Irrfan Khan’s character in the film is still remembered. But first this role was given to Manoj Bajpayee. Tigmanshu told in a conversation that he had talked to Manoj earlier. At that time Satya had been released and Manoj had become quite famous.
When the story was narrated to him, he clearly said that he would not play the role of a villain. Tigmanshu explained that this is a different kind of character, but Manoj refused. After this, this role went to Irrfan Khan and he played it very brilliantly. Director Tigmanshu Dhulia has completed almost all the preparations for his next film. He told that work on this new subject will start soon, although the name of the film has not been revealed yet.
