UP film industry’s first film completes post production
Greater Noida: After Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s announcement of shifting Bollywood from Mumbai to UP, the first film “Ragad-Bhassad” has completed the post production and is all set to hit the OTT platforms.
The film produced by Shree Ram Entertainment and directed by a young Mumbai based actor/director of UP Vinod Dixit was renamed as “Ragad-Bhassad” after initially naming the project as Bhassad keeping in view the content of the film that is based on a story written by Dixit.
“The film was shot with much dedication and thankfully has turned out a fine piece of art”, says Dixit, who has shot the entire project within Greater Noida and is all set to release the film any time now even as he is preparing a few more projects to shoot in UP in near future.
The Ragad-Bhassad is a thriller that would keep audience tied to their seats till end and has Lalit Razdan, Sarthak Bajaj, Kanchan Madhwal, Vibhour Kaushik, Azmat Khwaja, Sachin Keshav Chaudhry and King C Bharati in important roles.
Yogi’s big dream to give a full-fledged film industry status to UP has given a new hope and enthusiasm to the most of the filmmakers and actors in India while film personalities working either in Mumbai or elsewhere are more elated and ready to make the dream a reality.
Dixit can be treated as the early birds who have taken their CM’s dream quite seriously and started filming their projects in UP particularly the peripheries of Greater Noida. Greater Noida is the center of focus for the upcoming Film Industry in UP and has vast potential due to its topography, landscapes, natural habitats, villages as well as modern infrastructure already in place.
Dixit has completed his first major directorial project ‘Ragad-Bhassad’ which started shooting in November 2020 has been shot locally with artists from UP as well as other states like Jammu and Kashmir, Delhi, Haryana, Mumbai, MP, thus making it truly a project like Bollywood where everyone will get a job in one way or the other.
Dixit is working in Mumbai as director, writer and actor under the banners of ‘Shree Ram Entertainment House’, ‘Discovery Hours Entertainers’, ‘The Turtle Life’ and ‘Jitesh Kumar Films’. He has more than 50 short films as writer and director under his belt and has written some notable web-series like ‘Cyanide Mohan’ directed by Rahat Kazmi, ‘Just 13’ (English Film) directed by Ashish Wagh, two music albums, ‘Maqsad’ and ‘Ya Ladkiyan’ besides ‘Girls Cutiyapa’ as writer-director.
