Why National-award Winning Director Sounmendra Padhi Chose To Make Farrey After Jamtara!

 

Sounmendra Padhi, the acclaimed director known for his cult series “Jamtara 1 and 2” and the winner of the coveted National Award for his film “Budhia Singh: Born to Run,” has carved a unique niche for himself as a powerful force behind the camera. However, his latest project, “Farrey,” sheds light on what made him want to take on this intridirector Sounmendra Padhguing venture.”Farrey” is a film that captivates not only with its gripping storyline but also with its sincerity and purpose. For Sounmendra Padhi, the decision to direct this film was not merely a professional choice; it was deeply personal, rooted in a significant episode from his own life that transpired many years ago. In an industry driven by trends and formulaic narratives, Padhi felt that films like “Farrey” were a rare and much-needed departure from the norm.

Speaking about his connection to the project, Padhi revealed, “When I was offered ‘Jamtara’ and read the script, I knew that the film’s heart was in the right place. It’s a very good and gripping story. The reason I wanted to make ‘Farrey’ was honestly very personal and dates back to many years ago when something similar happened to me.” This personal connection not only drew him to the film but also fuelled his passion for bringing this narrative to life.

“Farrey” explores a genre and space that is not often seen in contemporary cinema. It delves into the complexities of human experiences, emotions, and the choices people make when faced with challenging situations. Padhi recognized the potential of this story to resonate with audiences on a profound level, making it a project worth pursuing.

The decision to work on “Farrey” was not driven by commercial motives or industry trends. Instead, it was a reflection of Padhi’s commitment to storytelling and in “Farrey” he saw an opportunity to create a film that not only entertains but also leaves a lasting impact, much like his previous works.

Farrey is directed by national award-winning director Soumendra Padhi and stars Alizeh, Zeyn Shaw, Sahil Mehta, Prasanna Bisht, Ronit Bose Roy, and Juhi Babbar Soni in pivotal roles. The high-school thriller drama is produced by Atul Agnihotri, Alvira Agnihotri, Nikhil Namit, and Sunil Kheterpal. Farrey releases on 24th November 2023.
