BETAABI
THE RESTLESS
RISE IN REVOLT
It seems like only yesterday that Harry Baweja, a
student who specialised in theatre, came to Hindi films. He wanted to be
a director and so joined B Subhash as his assistant. Nut then he became restless.
Determined to make his own film, he proceeded to direct Trinetra and Diljale.
He then decided he wnted to express the restlessness of the youth of the
country, a state of mind he had lived through. His own young assistant, Rajesh
Singh, came up with some suggestions based on his own experiences whihc Harry
found interesting. He decided to give Rajesh a break as a director and the
result was Harry Baweja's Betaabi. Harry and Rajesh selected some of the
most talented stars of today to live their roles -- Chandrachur Singh, Anjala
Jhaveri, Arshad Warsi and Shahbad Khan (son of the late Amjad Khan). A major
part of the film has already been completed in Mumbai. "It's a film on the
youth and is being made by the youth", Harry says. Vishal Bharadwaj, the
restless young music director, scores the music.
