  Premiere of the Hangman

After a long hiatus, NRI producer Bipin Patel’s film “The Hangman” was finally premiered in Cinemax, Andheri. Akshar Media Production’s forthcoming film “The Hangman” is directed by debutant Vishal Bhandari starring Om Puri, Shreyas Talpade, Gulshan Grover, Smita Jayakar, Tom Alter etc. The music of the film is composed by trio Siddharth, Suhas and Chandresh.

The premiere of the film was a special one for Shreyas Talpade as “The Hangman” is Shreyas’s debut film that too in English language and it was his birthday too. The release of the film got stuck and hence, Shreyas made his debut in “Iqbal”. Dressed in casuals, Shreyas Talpade came for the premiere with his wife Deepti who was looking gorgeous in a purple dress.

The star-studded premiere was also attended by the “unlikely hero” Om Puri who came along with his wife Nandita Puri. The veteran actor was sporting an interesting T-shirt probably hinting at the current Marathi-North Indian issues in Mumbai. Bollywood’s “bad man” Gulshan Grover who is playing the “good man” in “The Hangman” was mobbed by the media for the role he is playing in the upcoming film.

Tom Alter came along with his daughter while producer Bipin Patel was spotted with his family and with more than 20 friends who especially come from USA. Smita Jayakar who is playing Shreyas’s mother (Parvati) in the film made a late entry. Seems like her on-going soap “Main Ghar Ghar Kheli” is keeping her too busy. Amrita Bedi who is making her debut in the film was also seen in the premiere dressed up simply.

A story of 1970, “The Hangman” is an unusual drama film set which deals with the emotional impact of a hangman's profession on the protagonist, his wife and his son.

  Om Puri in Hangman

Whether it’s the role of a tough cop or playing a terrorist, versatile Om Puri has got accolades in almost all characters he has played. Om Puri will be now seen playing the role of a hangman in “The Hangman” and a fundamentalist Muslim in “Road to Sangam”. Both the films are set to release on 29th Jan.

Despite a major back operation during the shooting of “The Hangman”, Om Puri was regular with his shooting schedule and kept up with his dates. Even though it was quite a painful period for him, the promo of “The Hangman” seems promising and brandishes Om Puri’s hard work.

The story of “The Hangman” is based on Shiva the hangman (Om Puri) who’s competent in his profession. Following in the footsteps of his ancestors, his family has been following this trade for generations. Shiva is conflicted, however, by the nature of his job and hopes that his son Ganesh (Shreyas Talpade) will have a better life in a different profession.

  Shreyas - Talpade in Hangman

Hindi

Akshar Media Productions forthcoming film “The Hangman” stars Om Puri, Shreyas Talpade and Gulshan Grover. “The Hangman” would’ve marked Shreyas’s debut in the film but the release of the film got stuck. Shreyas Talpade then rose to fame with “Iqbal” where he was featured as a debutant; however, “The Hangman” is Shreyas Talpade’s first English film.

Like “Iqbal”, Shreyas will be again seen playing an intense role in “The Hangman” which is set to release on 29th Jan. “The Hangman” is an unconventional drama film based on the trauma of a man Shiva (Om Puri) who is subjected to social wrath and hatred because of his profession. Most of the people around him detest him as a result of which he is forced to live a lonely life. His only hope is his son Ganesh (Shreyas Talpade) and Shiva sends him away for higher studies. As luck would have it, an accident takes place and plagues Shiva's life again. He prepares for a hanging but this one would prove to be like none of the hundred, which he had performed before.
