Vijeta Films is ready with their next film titled Chamku. Like most of the films produced by the Deol banner, even this one has one of the in-house actors, Bobby Deol in the lead. After the success of Apne and a lot of hopes pinned to this one, it will be interesting to watch out for its box office result.Talking about the film, reports are that Bobby plays a Naxalite in this action-packed venture. Bobby says, “I am a Naxalite only for a brief part of the film. It’s about this character called Chamku who has had a brutal past. His family gets massacred and he is taken care of by Danny, a Naxalite leader.” Though this was the first time that Bobby played a Naxal, he didn’t have to do any research for the role. He states, “It was all given to me, by Kabir (Kaushik, the director). He is originally from Bihar and is inclined towards these kinds of stories. He had already done the research.”
Chamku is looked upon as a vehicle to revive Vijeta Films. So was it a conscious decision to roll out an action based film, considering the Deol’s penchant for action? According to Bobby, action is not the only genre they are looking at. He says, “We are making many films. We want to make films which people will like.”
For the suave Bobby, 2007 was good. Though the Yash Raj film, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, turned out to be a dampner at the box-office, Bobby got appreciation for his role. Even with Apne, in which the three Deols got together for the first time, his character stood out. Fast heading towards the hit actors’ list, Bobby has many films to look forward to. He says, “I have a film titled Ek. Then there are Roshan, Heroes and Dostana I’m working on.” Looks like, the reel Chamku’s destiny is all set to shine bright. Now, only if that helps revive Vijeta Films as well!
