Madhur Bhandarkar Speaks on His ‘Brand of Cinema’ And Why He Made a ‘Desi’ Babli Bouncer With Tammannaah Bhatia – Watch Interview
Madhur Bhandarkar says many people asked him why he was making a story about a female bouncer when he could have easily taken a male superstar and made a film on a male bouncer. Watch this insightful conversation with Madhur and Tamannaah Bhatia.
Madhur Bhandarkar’s latest film, Babli Bouncer, is quite an unlikely film coming from his brand of cinema. The national-award-winning filmmaker is known for his serious, unabashed and revelatory kind of filmmaking style. But here, he creates the world of a desi female bouncer and ropes in one of the most glamorous actresses in the industry – Tamannaah Bhatia – to play the lead.
In conversation with india.com and the entire Zee Media, Tamannaah and Madhur talk about the very ‘unlikeliness’ of this film. Madhur says he could have roped in a big male actor and made it a story about the life of a male bouncer but this is not what he was set to do. The director, who has been conferred with Padma Shri, India’s fourth-highest civilian award, says people love his kind of cinema, which they popularly call ‘Madhur Bhandarkar ka Khulasa.’ He says he’s aware of his capabilities and very sure about what he wants to bring to the table, for the audience. This time, he serves something different and something purely ‘desi.’
Babli Bouncer is currently streaming on Disney+Hotstar and has received good reviews.
