Ambiecka Pandit-Sudip Sharma on 'Babita Singh...': A complex drama told through a cop and crime
Here's the latest update from the Bollywood world:
Mumbai, Writer-director Sudip Sharma, known for his critically-acclaimed shows "Paatal Lok" and "Kohrra", knew he had a wonderful script when he first heard the story of "Babita Singh Reporting", a movie about an under-confident female cop who is pulled into solving the murder of her childhood friend.
Adding to this, Ambiecka Pandit-Sudip Sharma on 'Babita Singh...': A complex drama told through a cop and crime Nimisha Sajayan plays the pliant assistant sub-inspector who journeys home with her husband after being suspended. While there, she realises that her childhood friend has been murdered and she decides to investigate.
Meanwhile, Sharma, who serves as an executive producer, is not new to cops or crime stories but when he received the script, written by Amita Vyas, he wanted a capable director to explore the psyche of a female police officer and he found that in Ambiecka Pandit, who was one of the directors on "Black Warrant". She makes her feature movie debut with the movie.
Notably, "I had already seen 'Black Warrant', which she had directed episodes of and she just seemed like the right person for it. We met and realized we are on the same page with regards to how we are looking at the movie'. Then the journey kind of started from there," Sharma told PTI in an interview.
As per the latest buzz, He likened his job on the Prime Video movie to that of a curator.
In further updates, "The canvas was provided by the writer, then the director came in and did her painting on it and my job was just to make sure that they are allowed to make the painting the way we want to make and to provide them all the easel and the paint brushes," he added.
On top of that, Pandit shared she found great support in Sharma as she has always believed in directing characters as complex human beings rather than reducing them to stereotypes and Sharma shares that belief.
"We both enjoy cinema that is immersive in that sense, that is not talking down to you, that is giving you an experience, telling you a story and inviting you into that world. I would think that is common," she shared, adding that it was comforting to have Sharma as a bouncing board for her ideas and dilemmas.
