Hiten in Film !!! miust read this its good news
Hiten Tejwani Actor on his career in Bollywood and TV.
Manish Jha of Matrubhoomi fame has cast you in his next project Anwar. How did you bag the role?
It was quite sudden. I got a call from the producer asking me to meet Manish. When I met him he narrated the script and offered the role to me.
The script being a love story set in a Muslim background sounded quite interesting and seemed to offer a large scope of action and emotion which made me accept it.
Moreover, due to six parallel stories happening in the movie, each of the actors have been given almost equal space.
You are a big name on the small screen. But having done two other movies besides Anwar, do we see you shifting your focus to Bollywood now?
No. Small screen is what gives me job satisfaction. It is here that I've got the chance to experiment with varied roles, be it of a loving son or a husband with shades of grey.
And where movies are concerned, I have maintained a list of directors with me and will only work with them. Manish happened to be one of them.
Rest I have had many offers which were not performance oriented and so I refused.
With Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi slated for another leap of 20 years, aren't you apprehensive about getting moulded into the father image?
No, this happens in case you are acting only in one serial. I'm also there in another soap in addition to this movie that I'm doing, where I play my age. So I have no fears.
Moreover, in the soap Kyunki..., after the leap we will continue to look the same with no greying or whitening of hair done. So that way the leap is only with the intent to take forward the story.

Synopsis:
A story of a young man, an artist, who leaves his home and everything he knows in order to escape a world he no longer recognizes. All he ever wanted was to be loved. Instead, his mentor abandons him and his best friend and his one true love betray him. Devastated, emotionally exhausted, he takes refuge in an old building, only to wake up the next morning to find his world turned upside down. Mistaken for a terrorist, Anwar finds himself in the midst of unusual set of circumstances that resonate deeply with the modern "Indian condition" and indeed with the "human condition" in this present day global village.
Surrounded on all sides by a host of characters that try and engineer the situation to their profit, Anwar becomes the central character upon which the others base their hopes and their deepest desires. A rabble-rousing Minister, pitching for the popular vote; two journalists, one a nationally renowned TV reporter and the other a small town scribe, looking to resurrect their careers and, as a consequence their lives; a priest whose only wants to leave, but must first resolve the situation... in any way he can. Through them and through the other stories weaving in and out of the film, we discover a grand love story, plastered against the canvas of India.
"But now remains Faith, Hope, Love these three; but the greatest of these is love"

| | | | | | About the Director:
MANISH JHA - By the age of 24, Manish Jha had already won two of the most prestigious international awards in world cinema. His first film, the critically acclaimed short "A Very Very Silent Film (2002)" won the 'Jury Prize for Best Short Film' at the CANNES FILM FESTIVAL in 2002. Even more impressively, Abbas Kiarostami called him the most promising director at the festival.
His second film, "Matrubhoomi:A Nation Without Women (2003)" won the FIPRESCI Award from the 'Critic's Jury' at the VENICE FILM FESTIVAL in 2003, stirring up reams of controversy with its dark, yet surprisingly funny look at the issue of female infanticide.
With his two films having dealt exclusively with women's issues, Manish turned his eyes on homeward. The result, "Anwar (inspired by a short story "Falgun Ki Ek Upkatha" by Priamvad)." A mixture of a series of love stories, political satire, serious social drama and an epic tragedy-searingly personal and overwhelming, uniquely Indian; it may yet prove to be the coronation of Manish Jha as the new enfant terrible of Indian Cinema - a position that he is more than qualified to command. | | |
