The reloaded Sippy

When you are known by the surname Sippy and that Ramesh Sippy's and GP Sippy have made hit films like Seeta Aur Geeta, Shaan, Shakti and Sholay, your career can’t swing in air. Rohan Sippy knew there was nothing else he wanted to do. He have never felt ardently about anything besides filmmaking.

Rohan Sippy
After spending some years learning the gimmicks, Rohan Sippy directed his first feature ‘Kuch Naa Kaho’ in the year 2003. He followed it up with Abhishek Bachchan starrer ‘Bluffmaster’ in 2005. On April 22 the director will witness the release of his upcoming film “Dum Maaro Dum”. So, here’s a question that what was Rohan Sippy doing over the last five years. To this the ace filmmaker answered that he produced a couple of movies like Taxi 9211, The President Is Coming, Chandni Chowk to China, etc. There was no real reason for taking so long time to make a come back, except that everything had to fall at right palce.

When writers Shridhar Raghavan recoiled the idea for the thriller that became “Dum Maaro Dum”, it automatically felt right. Rohan Sippy is excited because he has followed a multifarious description composition with this film. He said that this was one reason, also things were difficult because they were working with an ensemble cast; for the kind of approach they have taken to the shoot, all the unseen effects and postproduction, it needed more time in thinking and executing things. Set in Goa, the movie is based on three stories meeting at a point in the first half, and then moving ahead.

The first story is about Prateik Babbar, a student, who gets attracted into doing things he would not normally do. Abhishek Bachchan is a cop responsible for cleaning up the scene and taking on those behind it. The third is a musician, portrayed by Rana Daggubati. Whereas, Bipasha Basu is another main character. All these characters have some sins in their past that they have to pay for. That emotion plays out through the flick. While there are reports of ‘Seeta Aur Geeta’ being remade, would Rohan Sippy consider remaking any of his father's movies? While, the filmmaker openly refused the offer saying that he doesn't think he have a way of making them better.

Abhishek Bachchan stated that as a director, Rohan is not the Rohan who directed the earlier two films Bluffmaster and Kuch Naa Kaho. If the actor have to generalise, then it is just confidence that made him so much so successful. Abhishek also added that Rohan Sippy is at the top of his game. So the star saw a huge difference, in him and also that Rohan’s moustache had become slightly shorter and his glasses had become smaller. We hope that Dum Maaro Dum turns out to be a great success.
