Pavan Malhotra to been seen as a Pakistani army officer in ‘The Bastard Child’
A
man with an astonishing persona of an authoritative figure, Pavan
Malhotra who had portrayed the highly acclaimed role of Sikh coach,
Gurudev Singh in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, based on the life of Milkha Singh
is now all set to take it to the next level. The actor will be seen
playing a controversial role of Pakistan Army officer in his forthcoming
pragmatic film, ‘The Bastard Child’ which is based on true story of
Bangladesh genocide.
‘The
Bastard Child’ is a contentious film based on a series of
non-fictitious events that took place in 1971 revolving around the
sanguinary birth of Bangladesh. This movie when released will be the
first to tell the true story of the 1971, Bangladesh war as it really
happened.
Expressing
his thoughts on playing the character of Pakistan Army officer and
working in realistic cinema, the critically acclaimed actor, Pavan says,
“I feel honored for having the opportunity to work for some of the
non-jazzy movies of meaningful cinema. Being a part of such a team, such
a movie comes with a sense of responsibility and at the same time pride
especially when the incidents portrayed on the screen are based on true
incidents. The Bastard Child has moved me and I want the world to go,
watch it and be moved too.”
Directed
by Mrityunjay Devvrat and produced by Soumya Joshi Devvrat, ‘The
Bastard Child’ also stars Farooq Shaikh, Raima Sen, Victor Banerjee,
Tillotama Shome and Indraneil Sengupta.
