National award winning actor Manoj Bajpayee ensured that the anthem launch of his forthcoming awe-inspiring biopic, Budhia Singh – Born To Run was one to remember!
Following this, the team of Budhia Singh Born To Run including producer Ajit Andhare of Viacom18 Motion Pictures, director Soumendra Padhi, Manoj Bajpayee, Master Mayur headed to the school auditorium for a panel discussion with Sunil Chhetri – Captain of Indian National Football team, EX CRPF Chief, BS Gill and renowned child psychologist Dr Sanjoy Mukerji.
Says producer Ajit Andhare, “Whenever we have made unusual films, we have often been asked why we make films which are unconventional in terms of genre and subjects like Mary Kom or Manjhi – The Mountain Man. These subjects are very dear to us because at the heart of these films are great stories. The heroes you see in these films are real, relatable and inspiring. Accordingly, Budhia Singh – Born To Run is a film with a great heart.”
Manoj Bajpayee says, “I used to teach theatre to children in schools which was quite demanding. So that experience helped me to train them in the movie. To train a 5-year-old was difficult and to give him one direction was very challenging. I’ve always maintained distance from Mayur and the other children because I wanted them to feel that I was the coach. As an actor and an individual, working on Budhia Singh… was difficult and inspiring.”
Produced by Viacom18 Motion Pictures and Code Red Film Productions and directed by Soumendra Padhi, the film will run in cinemas on August 5, 2016.
