JOURNEY FROM SAHARANPUR CITY TO CITY OF DREAMS...


Suresh Nijhawan, an actor who had been playing various important characters like Bali, Meghnath, Raja Janak, Raja Dashrath and also Ravana in Ramlila organised by RADHA KRISHAN MANDIR CLUB, SAHARANPUR, UP during holy Navratras since 1983, had never imagined that he was also destined to play important character for Silver Screen years later. 

It was a DREAM-COME-TRUE opportunity for him when one fine day he was offered to play an important character of a village Rogue from WHITE HILL PRODUCTIONS. Luckily, he had enough time for the preparation for his first movie venture as he had been well-briefed by the director over the phone about his character with shooting scripts being mailed to him. Thrilled with immeasurable excitement, he did some mental work over his look and garbs in terms of his costume & getup that would suit this character. In the film, he has been shown a sturdy ruffian father of two young troubling sons who keep harassing the villagers with the support of local MLA. 

Having cropped his hair and stubble grown a few days before the shooting to look the character the script demanded turned out to be additional support as everyone liked him, look and personality wise when he reached Chandigarh to accomplish his cinematic goals. Having taken a little more brief from the director & producer he portrayed the character with ample ease. The appreciations were showered upon Suresh by the director producer. So much so, he got a promise for some character for his next movie too. 

As the word goes, his co-actors were equally impressed with his acting abilities. His sequence was shot at Mosampur village, a location about 45 km from Chandigarh which is close to Ramgarh which comes in Haryana territory wise.

The key technicians of the film titled "BODH,a journey within, he has participated in, are Saurabh Sandhu (producer director), Vikram Kohli (Production head), Garry Singh (DOP), Satbeer (associate director), Shiva Bhatia (stills cameraman) and actors like, Manav Vij (main protagonist as Collector), Dilawar (as Chhajju), Dimple Dhiman (as Chhajju's daughter), Pawan Dhiman (as police Inspector) and many more.
