Rajat Barmecha who won himself resonant raves for his performance because the repressed son in Udaan is ready to come back together again along with his on-screen pal Manjot Singh in debutant director Sajit Warrier’s Disco Valley.
This will be the third film where Rajat and Manjot would play buddies. Earlier this year they were seen together in Akshay Roy’s short film The Finish Line which won a countrywide award.
Interestingly Manjot who stole hearts and automobiles in Dibakar Bannerjee’s Oye Lucky Lucky Oye was never speculated to be part of Disco Valley. He stepped in precisely when Vivaan Shah who was speculated to play Bharmecha’s buddy opted out of the project suddenly.
The rather unhappy producer Siddharth Jain said, “Yes it was alleged to Rajat with Vivaan. But Vivaan suddenly opted out because his dates were clashing with another film Mastaan. Which might was okay were it not for how I USED TO BE informed about his exit from my project. ”
Vishal Bhardwaj’s staff who looks after Vivaan’s work informed Jain of Vivaan’s depature.
Says Jain, “This isn’t how one can do it. Luckily for me Manjot is a much more suitable actor for the part. The role seems written for Manjot. If Vivaan had played the part we’d have needed to change the character’s appearance and personality.
Manjot just fits in like a glove.
It’s the role of wide-eyed boy from Delhi who sets off for a jaunt in Fiji along with his friends played by Rajat Barmecha and Shazahn Padamsee, thinking it’s about fast cars fast girls and fast sex.
It will do for the 3 actors what Hangover did for its principal players. Vivaan must do young films in an effort to connect him with the audience between the ages of 14 and 19. ”
Rajat Barmecha seems thinking about coming along with his Udaan co-star again. “Manjot and that i get along very well. So playing buddies with him is simple. We’ve worked together twice before and every time it’s been joyride. We’re good friends in real life and that often helps. ”
In the meanwhile Vivaan Shah who’s greatly Vishal Bharadwaj’s blue-eyed boy remains to be looking ahead to that massive break which was promised to him by Bharadwaj after Saat Khoon Maaf.
Says Vivaan, “I am still waiting to determine when that film (with Vishal Bhardwaj) would happen. Hopefully it'll happen. I haven’t been told anything as he’s busy at this time. ”
