One name, three destinies

One name, three destinies

    David, written and directed by Bejoy Nambiar, is an action thriller that revolves around the lives of three different men, all named David. While Neil Nitin Mukesh plays a UK-based retro gangster from the 70s, Vinay Virmani plays the role of a Mumbai-based musician in the 90s and South actor Vikram’s story is set in Goa in 2010. Here’s what the actors have to say about their characters:
NEIL: My look is entirely different from the ones I sported in my earlier films. I grew beard and moustache and sport a distinct hairstyle. Our roles are intricately interwoven. Vinay, Vikram and the rest of us had a fantastic time shooting for the film. Also, what’s exciting, is that the curiosity about what exactly the film could be, is intact.
VINAY: I play a Catholic musician, who’s looking for a big break. My father is a priest, but I don’t get along with him. The story is about how I’m forced to put my guitar down and pick up a gun because of a tragedy the family goes through. Playing this character that was completely different from what I had played in my debut film, was a challenge.
VIKRAM: I have done loads of Tamil films and played different roles, but this one remains my most unabashed character till date. I play a carefree, endearing fisherman from Goa, who is a complete loser. I was dressed in distressed jeans that I teamed up with a ganjee and I borrowed Bejoy’s slippers.
    The film’s music was recently launched, where all the singers and bands — Remo Fernandes (Maria Pitache), Anirudh Ravichander (Yun Hi Re), Shweta Pandit, Prashant Pillai, Bramfatura, Maatibaani, Light Years Explode and Modern Mafia — came together to perform.
    David, produced by Reliance Entertainment, Bejoy Nambiar, Sharada Trilok, Vikram, Vinay Sinha, Priti Sinha and Ram Mirchandani, releases February 1.
