Produced by Surya Prakash Jethlia and directed by Ashish
Sinha the film is being made under the banner of SPJ entertainment production. "Shot in Bhilwara and set in the
backdrop of Rajasthan, Meeradha is a youth oriented film with a social massage,
which will influence the young generation in a positive way, I hope. I am
playing the character of a young positive guy and it will trace my journey from
a college guy to a matured responsible man, fulfilling his duties,” says Sandesh Gour who is playing the main protagonist in the film.
Sandesh went on to add, “Since this is my first big
venture and my first Bollywood film, I am a bit nervous but also much excited
about the project. Scheduled to
hit the theatres post Diwali,the film is right now at the post production stage.”
Orange city has undoubtedly produced few gems in
Bollywood and now it’s the turn of this lad and he hopes for the positive and
high response from the critics. Though this is Sandesh’s Bollywood debut, prior
to this, he has tried his hand in many things and has successfully collected
numerous feathers under his cap. He has even worked down south in an important
role in a Telugu film "Adavilo" as well as in a Chhatisgarhi film “Daai”,
apart from serials. He was recently in the news as his short film ”Muafinaama”
won two Best Film Awards which was shot entirely in Kashmir. The film is based
on female child abandonment and he is playing a Kashmiri Pandit in it.
When asked how was the experience of shooting in
Rajasthan in the summers of May, Sandesh quipped: “It was a nice experience all together, except
for the fact that we had to shoot in 45 degree temperature and that was quite a
painful task. But considering my big dream coming true I was fine with it and
was more engrossed with the beauty of the location. However, the best part was
I visited Brahmaji’s temple in Pushkar, the Dargah of Sufi saint Hazrat Khwaja
Moinuddin Chishty’s at Ajmer, the scenic breathtaking locales of Udaipur and others. And I really loved the
Rajasthani ‘Daal Bati Choorma’ and their colourful and soulful way of welcoming you ‘Padharo Mhare
Des’. It was a real good experience.”
Though he belongs to an upper middle class ultra sound
family, nothing stops Sandesh for putting in his share of hardwork and or facing
hardships that any actor struggles to get a toe hold in this industry. “But
that in turn has made me self-dependent as well as strong,” adds Sandesh. Speaking
about his future, Sandesh dreams to make it big in this industry. But his true
calling he says is to be the face of realistic films and earn awards and
accolades at international film festivals like Cannes and others. As the young
lad gears up for his debut venture, we wish him all the success.
