The film Beyond Bollywood is about the lives of four characters who work on the fringes of Bollywood. We followed and filmed these characters over a period of four years. We decided to follow these characters because we felt a certain connect with them and found them to be extremely passionate about what they were doing –
- Pooja, whose idol is Madhuri Dixit, came to Mumbai to become a dancer and through sheer hard work, moved on from being a background dancer to a lead dancer and also got a role in a film as the lead actress. She had to shed her “middle class” inhibitions in order to be able to do what she wanted to.
- Prem Singh Thakur, who a lot of our filmmaker friends would know, is meant to be one of the most honest men in this profession and has dedicated his life to the cause of the cine workers.
