´Barah Aana´ Producers Try To Bribe The Media!

Jokes apart, it was a unique idea to gift the media men a wallet with 75 paise inside! The wallet also contain­ed a fake Rs. 10 currency note with the Director’s Note printed on the reverse. The pictures of the lead actors of 'Barah Aana' as well as the visiting cards of the producers and director of the film were also stuffed into the wallet which contained a bill of three cutting chai for Rs. 7.50. In short, there was stuff in the wallet, which people generally keep.

The names of the cast and crew members were mentioned on a piece of paper which was neatly folded and kept in the money bag. Since a part of the film’s plot deals with kidnapping and ransom, the names of the crew members were listed as the victims alongside which were mentioned their occupations and the ransom amount which, probably, de­noted the fee he/she charged. For instan­ce, the occupation of ‘victim’ Shri was shown as music, which means he is the film’s music director.

The ransom amount was shown as Rs. 35,000. Nandini Shrikent was another ‘victim’ and her occupation was indicated as casting. Yes, you’ve understood it correctly – she is the film’s casting director. But what was her ransom amount? Just a couch! Yes, it’s a reference to actors getting roles in films by jumping into the metaphorical ‘casting couch’! Naseeruddin Shah, Vijay Raaz, Arjun Mathur and the other cast members were listed as ‘Co-Conspira­tors’ in the kidnap drama. Intelligent and original!
