Rohan Mehra: Mombasa to Mumbai

Ohan: As a newcomer, you have so much electricity and prepared for something. So, maybe it turned into now not as tough, even though frustrating. But then I saved reminding myself that the product we made was in reality high-quality. That idea of having a very good movie just saved me going.How did this film manifest?Funnily sufficient, a while in the past, I put a image of mine on Instagram. And Gauravv Chawla, who is the director of our movie, saw it and called me up. He asked me if I would be interested by an audition for his movie. The film I auditioned for ended up never happening, but he called me back for Baazaar.Rohan, you have got a worry with the name. There is one greater actor called Rohan Mehra. So even when one Googles your name, he appears at this moment. How do you intend to deal with that?Let's now not discount the work he has performed. He has executed clearly nicely for himself and for that I have to congratulate him. But sure, it's miles a little difficult to provide an explanation for to humans that there's one greater Rohan..About Baazaar, the first component that comes to my thoughts, is its similarity with Oliver Stone's Wall Street.It sounds familiar while you talk approximately the idea but there are such a lot of films like that. And once more what we commonly do is, while we've got a familiar story we love to tag it.I trust you grew up in Mombasa!Yes, I did. Mombasa, a small town in Kenya, east of Africa. It become remarkable. Very easy way of life.Would that still mean which you did no longer grow up looking too many Indian films?You realize, two matters you can guarantee whilst you pass anywhere within the global - potato and Indians. And you need to understand that walking a cinema is a enterprise and you need to cater to demand. The richest people in Mombasa had been the Indians and that they demanded Indian movies.We cannot no longer communicate approximately your father. You never truely got time with him. But I am positive you believe you studied his movies. Probably you observed your father through other people's reminiscences.Yes, it's far a extraordinary scenario. Having not met my father, he passed away whilst my mom become pregnant with me, and I turned into taken to Kenya where I grew up with my grandparents. I did no longer experience the dearth of something due to the fact my early life was exquisite. When I moved to Mumbai once I was 21, I started meeting people who knew my father and I started out discovering this guy thru others' experience of him. And tales that humans could tell of him.So, whilst turned into the first time you skilled his stardom?I am not the individual that would exit and tell human beings my father changed into an actor. I locate that very abnormal. But folks who knew him might communicate of him. And initially, it felt like wow! I did now not know the way to react.When worlds collide Acting, Rohan says, turned into a remote dream at the start. "I knew dad was an actor as my mom used to inform me about him. I watched his movies like Bemisaal, Anurodh and Ghar. When we got here to Mumbai for vacations, a number of people spoke approximately dad. Like him, I enjoy photography, tune and films. Much later I shifted to UK for a activity and there I realised that the sector is virtually huge. I began writing and directing quick movies. It was later in 2012 that I shifted to Mumbai and joined an appearing college. Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Khamoshi made the biggest effect on me. Much later once I came to Mumbai I assisted him for Bajirao Mastani." Dailyhunt https://www.zintro.com/profile/zi2184690d?ref=Zi2184690d
