Nasir Shaikh rolled the arms of the suede jacket, used the phone camera as a pocket mirror to touch his hair. Then he stepped on the red carpet (was blue, in fact) and the posters dedicated to the film's giants such as Chaplin, Scorsese and Spielberg.
Products related to yourself, which are made with your own films, a simple video camera and a ragtag cast, can be the most of the largest budget block. Here, here was in the opening of Mumbai in Mumbai mentioned as a kinematic dreamer Film-based film.
He put a foot forward, glued his thumb to the jeans pocket and smiled for the cameras.
“Here, Sir, here!” Photographers screamed. “Nasir, Sir! Nasir, Sir!”
Three a decadent, Mr. Sheikh, was an employee in his family's “video hall”, called a “video hall” such as little salons showing pirate and undocumented films. There was an opinion: Why does the Malegaon, a film industry, which is a small weaving mill, which is 200 miles from Mumbai?
He was a master of the formula for “Mollywood”. He and his friends will be able to re-create popular films, but they will change enough to prevent copyright problems. Every movie would be comedy since it's so sad. Loom employees and restaurant waiters will play Heroes and evil speaking with the dialogue of their streets.
VHS camera Mr. Shaikh, now 52, weddings used to make early movies were also used. Costages came from clothing stores. The actors were friends who did not receive any paid, Mr. Sheikh, tried to find substitutes for shifts in the mill or restaurant.
The scribe weaving worker as Mr. Sheikh Hero for “Superman” to spit. In a turn, the steel man of Malegao is fighting a local tobacco frost who destroys human health; Enters a canal to save children in another. (True life is less important for editing that cannot swim.)
This superman can fly by flying in front of a pole to simulate a pole from a pole to simulate a pole from a moving carriage, a pegs or a truck by hitting it by hitting it in front of a green screen. This superman can synchronize and dance the lip with the hero in the yellow flowers field.
“Why not?” He was the philosophy of Mr. Sheikh. “Why not?” It was his attitude.
The productions hit something universal: Ruth's drowning and there is no desire to have something more than anywhere.
Mr. Sheikh's entry into MovieMaking – Awesome efforts in the period before smartphones and easy digital creation – partially, a policeman was a solution against piracy, which is partially struggling for content.
His films, the paroties of the many Bollywood hits, became wildly successful in Malegaon. When the first film ran in the halls, it is four times less than four times the debtor's money spent for this and friends.
“During the two months, the film 'house full' – three representatives per day,” said Mr. Sheikh. National news channels fled to the city to meet him.
There is a script for a new film for a new film about “Malegaon's Superboats” in India, despite the fact that most children in India, or the impossible small, they want to be a movie star, he said.
The story of Malegao “” It's not just an inspiring for those who want to come to the cinema, but in the morning, “Mr. Groyer said.” He turned his dream dreams of night. “
For the first draft, Mr. Sheikh chose to choose the film “Sholay” from the angry young man “in 1970-1980.
The character names just pinched enough to solve copyright problems. Gabbar Singh, “Sholay” from Cani and One of the most recognized characters of Indian cinemaBecame rubber singh. Basanti, the hero, who was kidnapped, was Basmati.
The actors would look at some resemblance, in height or in the eyes or at least.
“We could not find the original heroes in these parts,” said Mr. Sheikh. “Would make duplicates.”
In one of the most popular scenes of Sholay, Gabbar Singhin shots, on horseback, on the horse, a train carrying the heroes of the film. Mr. Sheikh did not have a way to get horses or trains. So they worked with a bus of heroes. And the thieves of Rubber Singh? “I said: Let's do something – we put on bikes, all the corn on bikes,” he said.
But after successful success – there is a lot in India – a lying bureaucracy. After the initial films, the police would not allow examinations if Mr. Sheikh did not receive certificates from the Senza board. To get a confirmation for a movie, Mumbai had repeatedly back and forth over a year.
The industry also changed: video halls were closed with the rise of multiplex cinemas and online flow.
Finally, Mr. Sheikh was moving. His family's salon is now a clothing store.
But his legend continued due to a 2008 Documentary film About Malegaon's preparation of “Superman”.
Ten years ago, a film festival in New Delhi, Mr. Sheikh, his father, a very large film of many large filmes of the very large film of the Angel Young Period, including Sholay, was approached by a director. Wanted to produce a biopic.
“I know who you are,” Mr. Sheikh said to him. “I copied all the movies of your father.”
Ten years of the screens, Mr. Sheikh took the patience to try. However, he was partially clung to the deal because he was full.
“All pretty meta,” said Adarch Gourav, Mr. Sheikh playing actor.
Mr. Gourav grew up in a place that is not different from Malegaon. His true remembers their first experience in his hometown of the only family cinema in Jamshedpur. Among his shoulders of his younger brother would be on the shoulder of his older brother and waiting for the shutters to open.
“It has this metal bar, which is like a prison, and people screaming the prison before the show, shouting like a scream, he flies the prison. “And everyone else only runs from inside as life after the doors opened.”
Reela Kagti, the director of Biopic, which grows in a small town in the northeastern India, allowed the cinema to investigate the cinema where another one was less.
“This film was needed to be a sherry from the magic of the film. Why do we go to the cinema? Why do we need cinema?” Ms. Kagti said. “Why should we see what we should represent ourselves in art?”
Mr. Sheikh has changed a lot in Malegaon since the days of MovieMaking. But the passion and end of the cinema remain. At least one busy alley, even old video salons still operate.
The last evening, men and men are only men, only men. According to 30 kopecks, it can bend back for a couple of hours, burns cigarettes and moves away.
“There is nothing else in these parts – just work, work and work,” he said.
Large posters who spotted the alley were the capsules of time: bloody and rotten faces promise that dramatic collages, which are hand-colored signs, promise that he promised to “double movement”.
On one screen, Scarlett Johansson and Morgan Freeman's role in the complex metamorphosis story 2014 was a Hindi-dublbed version of the Hollywood movie. .
“Even Mithun, I forget that he took such a movie.” “But he has taken here.”
What kind of films are the method of deciding on the screen?
He said, “What my heart wants.” “If it works, it works. If so, what?”
Last month, as biopically preached, Mr. Gourav, Mr. Gourav, came back to Mr. Sheikh, Mr. Sheikh, the passion of the man who will play on the screen.
The star and the subject gave way around the city. Mr. Gourav's travel makeup took a step to make the crew and touch his hair, Mr. Sheikh, removed the phone camera and fix his own hair. Still, the frames are light and thinking in the angle.
Their last stop was the house of Mr. Sheikh: a small apartment in a crowded street in a row of shops on top of a number of shops. Mr. Sheikh came out in the morning and took plastic flowers for the decoration of Mr Gourav's visit.
As the prayer called the prayer in Malegaon, Mumbai, the dressed bodyguards with Mr. Gourav, tried to control the small crowd on the edge of the building. One by one, Mr. Sheikh, guests who came to his palate for a photo of the star.
These days, Mr. Sheikh is a place between the recognition of his work and the projects that reflect the show shows from YouTube to the Great Screen from YouTube. He is still a boxer who is a surprising retired, but also reflective of the opposite.
But first, the sons wants to build an electronics store for the 20-year-old twins.
“Then, with free thinking, I can return to it,” he said.
