Vishal Bhardwaj wants to adapt the Tarun Tejpal | Indian Movie News
Filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj has confirmed that he’s developing a function movie impressed by the Tarun Tejpal case, just days after the Bombay High Court overturned the former Tehelka editor’s acquittal, convicted him of rape and sentenced him to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment.
Speaking about the project, Bhardwaj said the case’s contrasting court judgments and its many lesser-known particulars make it a compelling subject for a movie. He also emphasised that his strategy would stay balanced and rooted in a number of views moderately than predetermined conclusions.
Vishal Bhardwaj explains why the case drew his consideration
In an interview with Variety, Bhardwaj said, “The contradiction between the two judgments makes it a perfect case for a ‘Rashomon’-style narrative. There are a lot of facts and incidents in this case that nobody knows about, and people will be amused and surprised to discover them on screen.”
The director revealed, “As they say, the devil lies in the detail. How do you expect people to go through the tiring, dry legal language of a 500-plus-page court judgment? I have gone through the minutest details. I have read the judgment many times and am still grappling with it. It’s a very important case for society.”
“The film should be made as a dispassionate observer”
Bhardwaj clarified that he doesn’t intend to make a movie that begins with a fixed level of view. Instead, he wants to current the story through different views. “It’s too early for me to make up my mind on what the film is about.”
He added, “I’m very clear that the approach must be that of a dispassionate observer, like a true film journalist, if I may say so.”
Explaining his storytelling philosophy, Bhardwaj said, “No story is complete without all the different points of view, especially in a ‘Rashomon’ structure, because half a glass of water is also half empty at the same time. The only difference is perspective.”
Director wants actor to strategy the function without preconceived notions
Speaking about casting, Bhardwaj said he would like an actor who is unfamiliar with the case so the efficiency stays free of preconceived concepts: “I want the actor to be unaware of the crime, if possible, and to set the judgments aside. I would love for him to approach it as fiction.”
The filmmaker also revealed that the project is being produced in affiliation with a major Bollywood studio, although he has not disclosed the title of the manufacturing home.
Bombay High Court just lately convicted Tarun Tejpal
The announcement comes shortly after the Bombay High Court overturned the 2021 acquittal of Tarun Tejpal by a Goa periods court.
Tejpal was arrested in 2013 after a junior colleague accused him of inappropriate assault. While the trial court had acquitted him in 2021, the Goa authorities challenged the verdict.
On August 6, the Bombay High Court set apart the acquittal, describing the trial court’s judgment as “perverse.” The High Court relied on the complainant’s testimony, CCTV footage and apology emails despatched by Tejpal before convicting him and sentencing him to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment.
Tejpal has acknowledged that he’ll problem the High Court’s verdict before the Supreme Court.
