Aadish Keluskar who has made his debut with the controversial film Jaoon Kahan Bata Ae Dil is delighted with the response received by his film starring Khushboo Upadhyay and Rohit Kokate in the lead, at the world premiere of his film at SPI Cinemas Le Reve at Bandrathe MAMI festival. Says Aadish, “There are a lot of thoughts in your head which keep taking the form of a screenplay and after that you keep taking them to the filmmaking process through shooting, editing before finally showing it to audiences. If audiences are actively engaging with the film then it’s a good feeling. If you have conveyed even 50% of what you felt and you know that it is going to live amongst the viewers, then you truly feel that your job is done.”

As a society, we still have so many preconceived notions of beauty, which creates a complex among those whom may not be considered good looking as per these norms. This begins while people are in school and gradually develops into something very negative.” says Aadish Keluskar.  Talking about the sexual violence depicted in the film, Aadish said, “The sexual violence shown in the film was deliberate. In real life, there are lot of instances of cases of domestic violence in which the victims take their case back fearing the repercussions and an attachment they have with their perpetrator who uses it to their advantage. If you look around, you will see a lot of people who are in such toxic relationships and I felt that had to be addressed somewhere in the film.”

On being asked why he chose to produce the film, producer Vinay Mishra said, “Only 9 people have made the film, that too in just a span of eight days  with almost zilch investment. If you have the conviction to make your film and you know that you can make it despite several constraints, then there are people who would be willing to take that chance with you. One could have had disagreements with Aadish but he had complete clarity about what he wanted to do.”

Khushboo Upadhyay, the lead actress of the film says, “It was a challenging role but there was also a lot of fun in doing it. The challenge was to make audiences connect with my character emotionally without making her come across as someone who is unattractive or unappealing.”

Rohit Kokate, the lead actor of the film said, “I loved the character, the way he talks and functions. The film is mostly about two characters – that of me and Khushboo. The manner in which the film plays around with our characters is what intrigued me and made me say yes to the film.”

Vinay Mishra founder of Humaramovie and producer of Jaaon Kahan Bata Ae Dil said, “This was the first ever screening of Jaaon Kahan Bata Ae Dil at Re Ve in Bandra as part of MAMI festival this year and the response it received was nothing short of amazing. I know that people were shocked, offended, and also repulsed. But, they were also mesmerized, they were awed and they made a connection with the film!  They felt it was real- and they knew these people on screen. Overall, I was happy to see that they sat up and took note of the film in such a great way”
