Just a few weeks back the sudden demise of actor Satish Kaushik left many of us shocked. And while this loss has been a huge one for the industry, Satish Kaushik’s legacy continues to live on. Adding to that one of his last films titled MIRG is releasing soon. The film has completed its post-production stage. Other than Satish, the film also stars Raj Babbar, Anup Soni, & Shwetaabh Singh in pivotal roles. For those who don’t know, MIRG is a mountain leopard who is a rarely seen creature. Because of this rarity, there are several myths about it.
Here’s a glimpse of Satish Kaushik from the film…
The film explores the journey of a man, Anil, a smart, yet caged, order-following boy. Set in the jungles of Himachal, MIRG is a heist-gone-wrong revenge drama, a journey of realization that in the jungle the difference between the hunter and the hunted is just one letter. Sounds quite interesting no? Talking about the project, Raj Babbar says…
“I thoroughly enjoyed shooting for this film. We had a blast. Tarun is a brilliant director; he really gives his actors a free hand to grasp the characters their own way. This technique gets you much more attached to the character and you grow a sense of responsibility to really do justice to it. Every actor in this film has delivered nuanced performances.”
Further sharing his thoughts, Anup says…
“MIRG is many films within a film. The story line is unpredictable and the treatment is very fresh. It was a dream come true for me to be in a film with such brilliant actors like Satish Kaushik Sir and Raj Babbar ji. Tarun is a visionary; I blindly followed his lead and I’m glad I did. Now I can’t wait for it to hit the screens.”
Directed by Tarun Sharma, and produced by Rishi Anand, NaMa productions (Shwetaabh Singh) & OneShot Films (Tarun Sharma), Mirg is shot in Districts of Himachal like Una, Hamirpur, Govind Sagar Lake, and jungles of Himachal. I will surely miss the brilliance of Satish Kaushik watching this one.
