Amitabh Bachchan is one such actor who is never afraid to experiment with new characters. According to Amitabh, his latest film, Nishabd, deals with human psyche. This film explores the psychological processes between an old man and young woman. Instead of focusing on sex, the film focuses on sense and sensibilities of the two people.
In a press conference at Mumbai, Amitabh Bachchan spoke about his character in the movie. He said that he has no problem with this character. He believes that the present Indian audience is matured enough to accept these types of movies. I am quoting from the report published in Apun ka Choice:
“The film dwells with the genuine emotions of the man and the effect it has on his family when confronted with such a situation and how they deal with it. The audience understand the honest and genuine feelings of my character in the film rather than sex and sensuality,” Bachchan said.
He felt that with the audience rapidly maturing in their taste for good cinema, it was high time that filmmakers experimented with creative ideas rather than stick to “escapist cinema”.
Bachchan said he had no reservations about accepting the role.
“When I read the script, I knew here was nothing to fear… what is important is to look at the situation which the characters find themselves in. It is what creativity and filmmaking is all about,” he said.
“Creativity is about imagining what would happen if they find themselves in such a situation. The film is about dwelling into their minds. Human beings are complex and it is never that easy to comprehend why people do what they do. Relationships are never as simple as they appear to be,” he added.
He said that Nishabd is the most sensitive movie every created by Ram Gopal Varma. As a director he has handled the subject quite well and Amitabh Bachchan has faith on his capabilities.
