Chup:
Revenge
Of
The
Artist
is
touted
to
be
a
homage
to
one
of
Indian
cinema's
finest
filmmakers
Guru
Dutt
and
his
cult
classic
Kaagaz
Ke
Phool
which
was
panned
by
the
critics
upon
its
release
in
1959.
The
failure
of
this
tragic
masterpiece
affected
the
maverick
director
so
much
that
he
never
directed
a
movie
after
that.
Speaking
about
his
familiarity
with
Guru
Dutt's
works,
the
film's
leading
man
Dulquer
Salmaan
said
in
an
interview
that
he
has
grown
up
on
a
good
diet
of
Guru
Dutt's
music
as
his
parents
often
listened
to
classic
Hindi
songs.
"My
dad
loved
to
drive
so
we
moved
from
Kerala
to
Chennai.
For
some
reason,
he
never
took
us
there
via
a
plane
or
train.
He'd
say,
"Let's
drive".
And
during
our
drive,
we'd
listen
to
songs.
So,
I
knew
Guru
Dutt
Sir's
music.
But
I
hadn't
visited
his
movies
so
much.
I've
grown
up
consuming
cinema
from
everywhere.
But
through
Chup,
I
visited
Kagaz
Ke
Phool,
because
there
are
so
many
references
of
that
film
within
our
film.
There's
also
a
shot
of
me
watching
Kagaz
Ke
Phool
in
the
film.
I
want
to
revisit
the
entire
filmography.
Once
you
become
an
actor,
it
becomes
difficult
to
watch
a
lot
of
movies,"
the
Sita
Ramam
actor
had
revealed.
