Director Anurag Basu, who's looking ahead to the discharge of his much mentioned project Barfi, says that its not a silent movie unlike what its first trailer suggests.
The first trailer of Barfi has relied completely on background score and emotions to convey its message to the audience. "Its not a silent film. The folks who can speak within the film do talk. It's a must to remember the fact that I'VE great actors who could convey a message without saying a word. What you saw within the trailer is what you'll be able to expect," Basu told reporters here, last night on the first look of Barfi.
"Its not that there are not any dialogues within the entire film. I DIDN'T think that I WILL BE ABLE TO make a silent film and not using a dialogues from starting to end. Folks that can speak have dialogues. I WISHED that everybody should understand the story," he said.
"There are fewer dialogues within the film and that's the specialty of the film. I had good actors who without saying anything could convey the story...then nothing find it irresistible. Illena has few dialogues," he added.
The Ranbir-Priyanka starrer revolves around a deaf and mute boy and a mentally challenged girl. From the trailer, it looks as if Ranbir have been in a position to essay his role pretty well, and Priyanka's mentally challenged avatar looks quite promising.
"I desired to make a movie that is different and lovely to spread happiness. When the characters are different, it does not imply the film is grim. This can be a happy, commercial film," Basu said.
"Earlier on, yes, I made different dark passionate films..that time my life was different but now I'M married and i've kids so I should make family films," he said with a smile.
The film also starring Tollywood actress Ileana D'Cruz, releases on September 14.
