MUMBAI:
With the President of Indias national integration
award in his pocket and a lot of accolades behind him
for his film Shirdi Sai Baba, Aushim Khetarpal is currently
filming Baba Ramsaa Peer being produced by Satish Tandon
Productions and Orient Tradelink.
The
film depicts the life history of the most reverred princely
saint from the western coast Baba Ramsaa Peer who was
the first to spread the message of Hindu-Muslim unity
in the 14th century.
The
film captures the magic of the period when Baba Ramsaa
Peer dispensed humanity, peace, love and healing.
While
the Hindus lovingly called him Baba, the Muslims called
him Peer, the name given to him by five Persian peers
who had visited India in that era.
The
film boasts of a strong star cast with Khetarpal himself
playing the key role Baba Ramsaa Peer along with Gracy
Singh. It is made in Rajasthani and Hindi , while
special attention is given to the costumes and dialect.
The
film has been extensively shot in Mumbai, Jodhpur,
Jaipur and Roncha village and at the actual Samadhi
of Baba Ramsaa.
