'Barfi' is not a silent film, says Anurag Basu
DIRECTOR Anurag Basu, who is looking forward to the release of his Ranbir KapoorPriyanka Chopra starrer 'Barfi', says that its not a silent movie contrary to what its first trailer suggests. The first trailer of the film relied completely on background score and emotions to convey its message to the audience. "Its not a silent film. The people who can speak in the film do talk. You have to understand that I have great actors who could convey a message without saying a word. What you saw in the trailer is what you can expect," Basu told reporters at the first look of Barfi The film revolves around a deaf and mute boy and a mentally challenged girl. From the trailer, it looks like Ranbir has been able to essay his role pretty well, and Priyanka's mentally challenged avatar looks quite promising. "I wanted to make a film which is different and beautiful to spread happiness. When the characters are different, it doesn't mean the film is grim. It is a happy, commercial film," Basu said.
