Director
Tigmanshu
Dhulia,
who
will
be
portraying
the
role
of
superstar
Shahrukh
Khan's
father
in
Anand
L
Rai's
next,
where
Shahrukh
is
playing
a
dwarf,
says
he
wanted
to
be
part
of
the
project
to
see
how
it
is
done.
"I
do
very
few
films
as
an
actor
but
when
a
filmmaker
friend
feels
that
I
can
do
justice
to
certain
role
-
and
when
I
need
some
money
-
then
only
I
do
a
film."
"It's
a
very
technical
film
in
which
Shahrukh
is
playing
a
character
of
dwarf
so
I
wanted
to
see
how
it
is
made
because
when
Kamal
Hassan
(Appu
Raja)
did
it,
that
time
he
did
that
with
folded
legs
and
VFX
facility
also
wasn't
available," said
Tigmanshu
at
the
trailer
launch
of
his
upcoming
film,
Raagdesh
on
Thursday.
"So,
to
know
that
process,
I
did
this
film.
It's
a
very
time
consuming
film
where
you
have
to
give
the
best
effort
because
you
have
to
shoot
each
shot
with
3
to
4
different
approaches
and
in
each
day
they
only
used
to
complete
only
one
scene
so
it's
a
hard
film
to
make,
but
they
are
giving
their
best
effort
for
that,"
he
added.
Talking
about
the
challenges
that
he
faced
while
working
on
Raagdesh
which
is
based
on
1945
Red
Fort
Trials
when
the
Indian
National
Army
soldiers
were
court
martialled
by
the
British,
here's
what
Tigmanshu
said:
"When
you
are
writing
a
fictional
story,
that
time
writer
can
use
his
imagination
to
write
a
story,
but
when
you
have
real
story,
then
you
have
to
mould
it
into
proper
film
script.
Then
it
is
challenging,
especially
when
you
don't
have
the
permission
to
tamper
with
past
facts."
"Each
scene
of
this
film
is
documented
with
the
help
of
some
or
the
other
books,
so
I
haven't
had
any
opportunity
to
take
cinematic
liberty
in
this
film," he
added.
Raagdesh
features
Kunal
Kapoor,
Amit
Sadh
and
Mohit
Marwah
in
lead
roles.
