Bombay Berlin brings Prasaad to EFM

Mumbai-based Bombay Berlin Film Production (BBFP) is stepping into international sales with Indian drama Prasaad, which is receiving its market premiere at EFM. 

Directed by Manoj Sati, the film was financed by Bangalore-based production outfit AKK Entertainment. AKK was founded by Indian businessman Ashok Kheny who is constructing a media hub in Bangalore and also aims to build a film city with studios and sound stages.

The film tells the story of a man who prays for two things – to win the lottery and to have a son. He doesn’t win the lottery, but his wife gives birth to a boy. The son turns out to be deaf but exceptionally talented and later wins the lottery.

The Kannada-language drama features two stars of South Indian films and television series – actor Arjun Sarja and actress Madhuri Bhattacharya.

The actor who plays the boy, Sankalp Jha, was deaf when the film was made, but can now partially hear after the producers of the film paid for a hearing implant.

BBFP is a production, consultancy and production services company co-owned by Indian actor Arfi Lamba, producer and casting director Abhijeet Singh Baghel and Katharina Suckale, who previously worked for Paris-based MK2.

Arjun (Sarja) had approached me to compose music for ‘Prasad’. At first I refused as I was held up with some other work but when he insisted, I decided to watch the movie and then take a call. I was expecting a typical Arjun Sarja movie with lot of action, but in turn, I got to see a very touching story with many emotions. I could see his hard work and I knew if I don’t compose music for such movies, I am not fit to be in this industry at all,” quote by maestro Ilayaraaja

Three is company

He has waited with the script for three years to get the right actors. Finally director Vasanth has zeroed in on them — Arjun, Cheran and Vimal. His Moondru Per Moondru Kadhal (MPMK) is half way through and Vasanth says that he will create new personalities out of his three actors. “I turned ‘Action King' (Arjun) into an ‘Acting King' in Rhythm. By the time MPMK is complete you will see a new Cheran and Vimal,” assures Vasanth. The female roles have gone to two new faces from Mumbai — Sruti and Surveen while Mukta Banu plays the third heroine. “It is a love story and the highlight of the film will be the outstanding score by Yuvan Shankar Raja,” says Vasanth.
