Satish Kaushik, Raj Babbar, Anup Soni, and Shwetaabh Singh play crucial roles in Tarun Sharma’s film Mirg.
Satish Kaushik, a late actor and director, will soon be seen in one of his final movies, “Mirg,” which has completed post-production and is now ready for distribution. Raj Babbar, Anup Soni, and Shwetaabh Singh all play significant roles in the movie.
The movie is a genre-defying tale of a heist-gone-wrong vengeance drama and is based on the mountain leopard folklore that is well-known in the lower districts of Himachal Pradesh.
Tarun Sharma, the director said, “My main aim while approaching ‘Mirg’ was to give the audience an engaging film. Every aspect of filmmaking should come together to create something engaging, transporting people into an alternate reality.”
“That for me is the magic of cinema. I was blessed with a wonderful and involved crew. Having stalwarts like Raj Babbar, Satish Kaushik and Anup Soni in my debut film was a blessing.”
The actor Satish was the first to join the cast, and to the director’s amazement, he decided to star in the movie just two hours after receiving the script. “To this day I can’t believe that he is no more. His childlike passion for cinema is something I shall never forget. I really wanted him to see the final product but that is one feeling which shall remain regretfully unfulfilled. I must also add that Shwetaabh gave a breakthrough performance standing up to such senior actors,”
Raj Babbar said, “I thoroughly enjoyed shooting for this movie. We had a blast. Tarun is a brilliant director. He really gives his actors a free hand to grasp the characters their own way. This technique gets you much more attached to the character and you grow a sense of responsibility to really do justice to it. Every actor in this film has delivered nuanced performances,”
The UK-based Studio RA provided the majority of the funding for “Mirg,” which was made by Rishi Anand, NaMa Productions, and OneShot Films. The majority of the movie was filmed in Una, Hamirpur, and Gobind Sagar Lake in Himachal Pradesh.
