The filmmaker recently spilled the beans on why he made Bobby’s character a Muslim in the movie. Talking to Galatta Plus, Sandeep mentioned observing individuals in moments of extreme self-doubt, where well-meaning suggestions are often directed towards seeking solace in religious practices or changing one’s identity.In these low points, some people turn to alternative religions, such as Islam or Christianity, often opting for a change in name or wearing a protective pendant (taweez). Interestingly, he noted a rare occurrence of individuals converting to Hinduism in comparison to the more commonly observed shifts to other faiths during such challenging times.
Sandeep explained that the concept provided him with the opportunity to depict Abrar as a character with multiple wives and the potential for numerous children. He expressed the thought of utilizing this aspect because Islam allows for multiple marriages, enabling the portrayal of a more complex familial dynamic with various characters. Sandeep clarified that his intention was not to depict Muslims negatively but to enhance the dramatic elements of the narrative.
