There
is
Hollywood
inspiration
behind
Bollywood's
very
own
film
Allah
Ke
Banday
which
is
aiming
for
a
late
October
release.
Since
the
film
is
a
gritty
tale
of
children
taking
to
crime,
it
required
an
edgy
narrative
for
itself.
While
debutant
writer-director-actor
Faruk
Kabir
promises
lot
more
in
his
dramatic
affair,
he
has
also
created
a
graphic
music
video
to
lend
out
the
right
mood
and
feel
of
the
film.
The
song
is
titled
'Maula'
has
been
self
confessedly
designed
on
the
same
lines
as
Hollywood's
graphic
tale
Sin
City
(2005).
"'Maula'
is
a
visual
interpretation
of
reality
and
through
this
song,
I
am
giving
a
visual
treat
to
my
audience",
says
Faruk
who
has
patiently
waited
for
a
while
before
his
debut
flick
became
a
reality
by
itself,
"My
target
audience
is
youth
and
being
a
28
year
old
myself,
I
am
a
part
of
this
generation.
I
am
making
a
contemporary
film
about
today
and
for
that
I
have
lend
an
edgy
hardcore
energy
to
it.
The
music
video
of
'Maula'
has
a
lot
of
attitude
to
it
and
for
that
the
graphic
tone
of
Sin
City
came
in
handy."
When
released,
Sin
City
had
met
with
instant
diverse
reactions
due
to
the
graphic
nature
of
violence
and
sex.
The
film,
though
carrying
a
comic
undertone
to
it,
was
mainly
for
the
adult
segment
of
audience
and
went
on
to
become
a
cult
flick
over
a
period
of
time.
In
fact
it
stands
amongst
one
of
the
most
studied
movies
of
all
times
and
had
led
to
quite
a
few
cheap
imitations
globally
with
far
lesser
success.
"Ours
is
a
tribute
to
that
genre
though",
Faruk
is
quick
to
add,
"You
would
see
a
distinct
(Quentin)
Tarantino
touch
to
it,
something
which
was
a
conscious
approach.
Of
course
the
video
is
quite
real
and
disturbing
so
it
has
to
be
seen
with
caution.
I
don't
mind
that
though;
after
all
it
was
intentional."
Making
of
this
video
was
a
challenge
in
itself
for
Faruk
and
his
team,
more
so
because
Faruk
is
playing
the
double
role
of
a
director
and
actor
here.
"The
whole
video
has
been
shot
on
croma
where
we
have
created
the
entire
backdrop
pretty
meticulously",
informs
Faruk,
"The
video
features
Sharman
and
myself.
Technically,
it
was
a
very
challenging
exercise
and
the
song
took
around
six
months
to
be
totally
ready.
While
three
months
went
into
pre-production,
the
same
amount
of
time
went
into
post
production
as
well."
While
Chirantan
Bhatt
has
scored
music
for
this
song,
Sarim
Momin
has
written
the
lyrics.
However,
this
is
not
the
only
music
video
that
Faruk
has
shot
for
his
flick.
"That's
right",
says
Faruk,
"We
have
shot
another
music
video
with
Kailash
Kher.
It
is
an
association
with
UNICEF.
This
one
took
its
own
time
to
be
done
since
it
features
children."
Whoever
said
that
it
was
a
child's
play
to
make
a
film!
