Exclusive! I liked the concept of the film: Filmmaker Shreyans Bokadiya on making the Rajasthani version of ’24 Carat Pittal’

Yogesh Patel’s ‘24 Carat Pittal’ rocked the cinemas in December last year. Bhakti Kubavat’s outstanding performance won hearts and it also impressed ace filmmaker Shreyas Bokadiya. So much so that he couldn’t help but approach the makers of the Gujarati film to gain rights for dubbing of the movie in Rajasthani and also for its distribution. The filmmaker, producer and director, who belongs to Rajasthan, spoke exclusively with ETimes about how his association with the team of ‘24 Carat Pittal’ came about and his other works.
Shreyans shared, “Presently I'm living in Gujarat, Ahmedabad.Being a filmmaker, I always appreciate different languages and various kinds of cinema. The Gujarati language is very close to me as I follow Jainism, which has most of its stavans in Gujarati. So, I always had the wish to do something in the Gujarati language as well. In December, when ‘24 Carat Pittal’ was about to release, I had been in touch with Bhakti Kubavat, discussing about the film. I had a voice call with Rakesh Bhai, the producer of the film, and he invited me to the film’s premiere with my family. I liked the concept of the film and especially the role of Chandu the most. After the film’s premiere, I had several meetings with Yogesh Ji Patel, the director of the film. We made a decision of taking the rights of the film for dubbing and distribution in another language. And I started with Rajasthani as it’s my first language.”
He further added, “Earlier, I have worked with Deeksha Joshi (Gujarati Film Actress) and Dhaivat Maheta who played the leads in the music video 'Le Aaya Hai Dil' which was produced by Tattvam - The Band. Also, I am glad to say that I have also had the opportunity to work on other Gujarati audio visual projects. Currently, I am working on a self-launch platform for aspiring talents with no auditions required and a hassle-free approach”.
Over the years, Shreyans has been busy making films, music videos, and music audio products in the regional as well as Bollywood entertainment domain. He is also making several language films in Hindi, Gujarati and Rajasthani languages, with the proposed title 'Journey Towards - Shwetamber', for which new emerging artists from Gujarat and Rajasthan will be given a chance to work.
