The audience has seen many cops grace the screen. How will Mum Bhai’s encounter specialist Bhaskar Shetty have that extra edge?
Apart from being a massy and commercial project, we have really worked on the script and this character.
It is a very layered character.
It’s a graph which goes from his childhood to the man he becomes and from the police officer to encounter specialist he becomes.
I’ts a different kind of performance.
It’s not heroic, it’s actor-driven.
Sometimes people just see dialogue baazi but that is not the case here.
It connects to the common man in a very big way.
Mum Bhai uses the done-to death backdrop of the 1980s and 1990s Mumbai underworld. What’s the attraction in it now for an over-exposed audience?
When you see a gangster story, you think of Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai or Shootout at Lokhandwala.
This is a story of an encounter specialist.
He has seen a lot of underworld and has followed the graph of all those characters.
The narrative is from his point of view, the difficulties he faces.
The narrative does not belong to the underworld and the gangsters.
The growth of this character the rise and fall of an encounter specialist -- is very internalised and humanised.
Everybody starts good, right?
Nobody is born bad.
Nobody is born materialistic and greedy.
It’s the ambition that drives you.
