Dubai [UAE]: Filmmaker Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming directorial ‘Bawaal’ is set against the backdrop of World War 2.
The film has Varun playing a history teacher who takes Janhvi Kapoor’s character on a trip to Europe to visit World War 2 sites.
It was shot in Paris, Berlin, Poland, Amsterdam, Krakow, Warsaw along with Lucknow and two other cities in India. The film’s crew had more than 700 people with action directors and stuntmen hired from Germany. Nitesh, Varun, and Janhvi recently travelled to Dubai to promote his film.
Speaking to the media, Nitesh discussed his film at length.
On being asked about his biggest lesson from the film’s shoot, Nitesh said, “There are certain ideologies that I believe in and that’s the guiding light for. One of the strongest human feelings for me is empathy. There is no way we can ever compromise on it. That is my strongest take away from the film.”
As some portions of the film are revolving around the war, he also opened up about he deals with the war within himself.
“I have started believing very strongly that whatever happens, happens for the best. There have been situations where you will find yourself asking why has this happened to me. But the alternative that life gives you at a later stage turns out to be a much better alternative,” he shared.
‘Bawaal’ will release on Prime Video on July 21.
