Actor Raj Singh Verma Turns Director With Bajra V/S Burger

Actor –writer-director Raj Singh Verma who has made his debut as a director with a film called Bajra V/S Burger starring himself in the main lead with Baby Sonia, Satyanand Gaitonde etc to drive home the subtle message to the audience through his film that bajra is organic whereas burger is a dish that is contaminated and only represents a belief system which has been imposed on us forcibly. The film, he says has been completed in 60 days on crowd funding basis in US as well as India. Raj Singh Verma exults, “Today it is extremely difficult for an independent filmmaker like me to get people to come to see a film which stars only new comers since it does not boast of a mega star like say Shah Rukh Khan or Varun Dhawan. Luckily for me, PVR Pictures has come forward to release my film shortly in as many as 640 screens. PVR have promised me that they will let me take away 80% of the revenue proceeds and keep just 20 % with them to encourage independent cinema for at least a period of eight weeks”. As an actor, besides several plays, Raj Singh Verma, who has to his credit films like Nitin Desai’s Desh Devi, Basu Chatterjee’s Prateeksha, short film Rewind, TV serials like Anurag Basu’s Meet, Ekta Kapoor’s Par Is Dil Ko Kaise Samjhaye, Tarun Bali and Ajay Kapoor’s Sanjog Se Bani Sangini, Ganga, Jahan Pe Ho Basera, Hare Kaanch Ki Chooriyaan and Utran, confesses that he had decided to fight with Ekta Kapoor and quit acting in TV serials because he did not want to be a bonded laborer all his life, slogging 24/7 on the sets of TV shows. Raj Singh Verma is now planning to launch a film on travelling titled Happiness Recipe very shortly.
