Mumbai, March 20 (NationPress) Actor-director Sudhanshu Rai has disclosed that his forthcoming sci-fi supernatural thriller "Baida" draws inspiration from his own life experiences.
In an exclusive interview with IANS, Rai mentioned that his upcoming film is based on a well-loved story from his life, which has been a favorite among his audience. He elaborated that over time, his fans encouraged him to adapt the narrative for the silver screen, and now, it has transformed into an exhilarating sci-fi supernatural thriller.
Sudhanshu stated, “Baida” is a sci-fi supernatural thriller film set to hit theaters on March 21. The plot follows a former spy turned salesman who embarks on a job-related journey to rural Uttar Pradesh. There, he finds himself caught in a dimensional conspiracy after seeking shelter in a hut owned by a mysterious figure. His struggle for survival intensifies when he is mysteriously transported to British India, facing imminent execution. To escape and return to his original time, he must devise a plan to save himself.
He continued, “What sets BAIDA apart is that it is the first-ever sci-fi supernatural thriller of its kind. It has consistently ranked among the most awaited films on IMDb. While the film boasts an intriguing narrative centered on time travel, it also integrates elements of Bhojpuri culture and humor.”
“This film is based on a story that has resonated with my listeners, who have always encouraged me to bring it to life on screen. It reflects my personal journey, where I encountered tales of a similar hut. It was challenging to discern whether it was factual or mere folklore, but it beautifully manifested in our narrative.”
The director also shared insights into his varied explorations across genres such as thriller, horror, and the supernatural. Rai noted, “As a storyteller, I have delved into genres like thriller, horror, and supernatural, even blending them to create horror comedies and romantic horrors. These have consistently resonated with the audience. I firmly believe that the Indian audience is ready for innovative concepts. When I craft stories, I embody those characters. With Baida, I am now embodying these characters and presenting them on the big screen. The entire process is remarkable.”
Sudhanshu Rai, portraying the role of Ram Babu, an international spy, concluded by stating, “Baida is aimed at audiences seeking content that diverges from the usual masala films produced by Bollywood. We recognize that our audience is discerning, and they are prepared for such films. With a compelling storyline at its core, Baida is sure to transform the audience's perception of storytelling.”
Directed by Puneet Sharma, “Baida” also features Manisha Rai, Shobhit Sujay, Sourabh Raaj Jain, Hiten Tejwani, Tarun Khanna, Siddharth Banerjee, Deepak Wadhwa, Akhlaq Ahmad Azad, and Pradeep Kabra in key roles.
The sci-fi supernatural thriller is set to premiere in cinemas on March 21.
