The Faisal Saif Fan Club(TFSFC) is proud to bring you the Exclusive interview and question answer sessions by the Film Maker himself.TFSFC
So you’re nowadays in the news a lot...
FS
I thank the Press and Media for that!
TFSFC
Why was the sudden change in the casting of Osama?
FS
When I was filming Osama, I was really not satisfied with the outcome. I really needed a more mature looking Osama. Hence we stopped the filming in the mid-way. When I approached Ali Haider for its music, He came up with his desires in acting. I thought why not try him out in Osama.
TFSFC
It was heard that actor Pushkar Jog tried to throw Tantrums on the sets?
FS
Let’s not go into that. It is a Baseless News.
TFSFC
Still...
FS
Pushkar Jog according to me is a very brilliant actor. If given an opportunity, He will rock. I hope he is doing okay now!
TFSFC
What is Osama all about?
FS
Osama is basically a Love story that starts from Kashmir. It is the story of up’s and down’s in the relationships. It is the story of mis-understanding. It has everything, Racism to Romance to WTC.
TFSFC
Is it about Osama Bin Laden?
FS
You have to see the film for that.
TFSFC
How was your experience working with Ali Haider?
FS
I was always a follower of Ali Haider’s music. People always remember him for his track “Purani Jeans” but apart from that song, Ali has also composed some great tracks. Ali’s music had played a very important role in my personal life. In short words, I am a die hard Ali Haider fan.
TFSFC
Why not Hrishitaa Bhatt this time?
FS
I and Hrishitaa worked on very comfortable notes. We did Jigyaasa together and it is still remembered. If we work again, Trust me it will be much bigger than Jigyaasa.
TFSFC
What after Osama?
FS
Maybe I will be starting again my On Hold feature film Sofia. I am looking for an International Actress to play the title part. Still i have not decided anything as of now.
TFSFC
But didn’t you already shot the film with Siboney Lo?
FS
We did not shot the film, We only shot few scenes with her. And I was not satisfied.
TFSFC
It is said that Siboney Lo was drunk on the set created a fight with an Indian Actress Jaya Bhattacharya, Just because Siboney was feeling insecure with her acting skills?
FS
This is baseless. Whoever told you this is wrong. As far as Jaya Bhattacharya is concerned, She is a very talented actress and an understanding woman at the same time. And by the way, Siboney Lo who?
TFSFC
What is Sofia all about?
FS
Sofia is based on a True Story. It tells this story of a Rich Nymphomaniac Woman who is tired of her routine life and later on joins in High Class Prostitution in Mumbai for Adventure Sake. This is the journey of this woman. This film again has a very Dark Atmosphere.
TFSFC
Why do you always choose Dark Films and Dark Stories?
FS
I believe in telling stories that are real and not fake. Somewhere down the line, I do try to add commercialism into it. But to an extent. I don’t try to force commercialism into it. Maybe this was the reason that Sofia was rejected by 4 to 5 producers.
TFSFC
What do you have to say about this Fan Club?
FS
It’s really great. I thank you all for that. But why a Faisal Saif Fan Club? There are so many other people in the world. Why only me? Anyways it is great!
TSFSC
As always, It was great talking to you.
FS
Thank You so much! Love you all!
