Director
Mohit
Suri
has
symbolically
used
the
Islamic
teachings
of
freedom
and
liberation
through
his
characters
Shivam,
Reema
Zaidi
and
Aliyah
Hamid
in
his
forthcoming
film,
Awarapan.
"The
film
focuses
on
how
Shivam
perseveres
to
get
Reema
the
freedom
she
yearns
for,
with
Aliyah
as
his
reference
point," says
Suri.
"My
mother
is
half
Muslim.
I
have
read
about
how
Prophet
Muhammad
(peace
be
upon
him)
freed
the
slaves
of
Mecca
and
Madina.
I've
only
tried
using
that
teaching
in
a
figurative
sense
through
my
actors'
actions."
One
of
the
actions
implying
liberation
is
used
by
actress
Shreya
Saran
(Aliyah
Hamid)
in
the
Maula
Maula
song
when
she
sets
a
pigeon
free,
as
seen
in
the
promos.
"Actually,
more
than
700
pigeons
have
been
freed
in
the
film,"
reveals
Mohit.
"Most
of
them
during
Maula
Maula
in
Jodhpur.
Others
were
set
free
in
various
scenes
of
the
film
in
Hong
Kong
and
Bangkok."
