“Ek will be a defining film for Bobby’s career” – Sangeeth Sivan

Maker of Kya Kool Hain Hum and Apna Sapna Money Money, Sangeeth Sivan, is turning adventurous with the release of his action flick Ek – The Power of One . He has played around with the on-screen personalities of both his lead heroes in the film – Bobby Deol and Nana Patekar. “That’s right, we all deliberated on the aspect of presenting both Bobby and Nana differently in the film”, says Sangeeth Sivan who has earlier directed action films like Zor and Chura Liya Hai Tumne, “During last so many years, they have worked in dozens of films and it was just right that we give audience something different.” So how different do they look in the film? “Well, to begin with Nana has been presented in this entire cool avtar. So he will be seen entirely in Western outfits with T-Shirts, Jeans, shades, bandana, and the works. His getup has been entirely changed for the film. He looks much younger and fitter. Not just that; as a CBI officer, he is shown as someone who associates every situation with a female and that makes him a colorful character on screen!” Of late, Bobby has been facing a rough patch at the Box Office. Nevertheless, Sangeeth is confident that Ek – The Power of One will turn out to be a pleasant surprise for all. “The film should be special for Bobby and his fans because after a long time he would be seen in a full fledged action role. His entire look and persona has been remodeled for EK so that it goes with the character he enacts. Mark my words, Ek will be a defining film for his career.” What’s so special about it? “The raw power that Bobby has been brought to his character”, says the young-at-heart director excitedly, “When you would look at him, you would mainly look at the character that he plays rather than the Bobby you have known for years. His actions speak louder than his words, literally. Though the film has an action base to it, there is strong undercurrent of emotion that goes throughout the narrative. There is a very good appeal in the script for family audiences to walk into the theaters as well.” Starring Shreya Saran as the leading lady opposite Bobby with Jackie Shroff and Chunkey Pandey in supporting roles, Ek – The Power of One is all set to arrive on 27th March.
