Director Sid Vinsurkar praises Sambhaji’s ability to convincingly portray three characters in Bol Bol Rani

Mumbai: The Marathi film industry continues to make new and exciting stories, and its latest – Bol Bol Rani – is already getting a lot of good reviews . A suspense thriller, “Bol Bol Rani” is currently running in the theatres, bringing together mystery, action and unexpected twists. Produced by New Zealand Motion Pictures Limited, the film features a talented cast including Sai Tamhankar, Subodh Bhave, Chinmay Mandlekar and Sambhaji Sasane in key roles. The film is being directed by debutant director  Sid Vinsurkar. Interestingly actor Sambhaji has essayed three characters in the film – an ironsmith, a drug supplier and a poet. We asked the captain of the ship to cast Sambhaji for three roles.

Sharing more on their association Sid says,” It’s been 3 years we know each other. I have spotted Sambhaji on my social media feeds. I have also seen a few of his work, visuals which came on my feed. I messaged him there and then we connected over a call and met as well.” Sambhaji has portrayed three characters in the  film and the director was very sure about the actor from day one. He says,”Every director has this eye and conviction for his actors, so I was very sure from day one that Sambhaji will pull off these roles.”

The debutant director who also comes from a theatre background does not believe in doing workshops for his actors. He says,”One has to remember that the workshop happens not on set, most of the time the atmosphere on set is different. And I would never want my actor to carry the baggage to the set. There is always a session of Q and A which I encourage in between shots. I want my actors to be present on the set.”

Sharing more on Sambhaji as an actor the director says,”While shooting there were instances when I have not said cut to my actors. With Sambhaji also I did the same, he is someone who is a Director’s actor and he completely surrenders himself to the script. And acting is also reacting to your co-actors.”

Bol Bol Rani released a week back and the director is happy about the feedback and reviews he has received for his film. He says,”I am not bothered about the box office numbers. I have got many critical reviews and also many influencers have posted their take on the film on social media. There are certain reviews where they have mentioned The Odyssey’s name beside our film’s name. That’s a huge validation.”
At the end the young director shares that the Marathi film industry will be more successful in coming years and the makers, directors, actors and audiences all are watching global content so directors are compelled to make good films.
