Amit Sadh who is seen in a special appearance in Shilpa Shetty-starrer Sukhee, is all set to enthrall the audience with his upcoming short film Ghuspaith Between The Borders. The film is directed by Mihir Kalpana Lath and is set to premiere at the JioCinema Film Festival. 

Recently, in an exclusive conversation with DNA, Amit Sadh opened up on his role in the film and talked about the challenges he faced while shooting for the short film. The actor also opened up on his upcoming project with Esha Deol and shared his experience of working with her. 

Amit Sadh called the short film Ghuspaith ‘thought-provoking and revealed that the film is dedicated to photojournalist Danish Siddiqui. The actor said, “I want to congratulate Jio Cinema for choosing Ghuspaith and giving these young directors and stories a platform. In any country, independent films and short films should be supported and I am very thankful to Jio Cinema that they are doing this. We have dedicated the film to photojournalist Danish Siddiqui who worked for an international news portal. It was 2021 when he was killed while. So when Mihir came to with this story, I was very impressed with his dedication, and his preparedness, and I'll be very honest with you, I wanted to support him and be there for him. This industry has done a lot for me, fans love me so much, so sometimes I feel we need to give back also by playing this character and I really had fun. I also got to know more about photojournalists and in full honesty, I did this movie for Mihir and the reason I did is I found it to be very nice. Thought-provoking short film.”

When asked if he met photojournalists to prepare for his role in the short film, the actor replied, “No, my character was inspired by Danish Siddiqui, so when you are inspired by a photojournalist, you don’t have to look at someone else. We had a lot of information, Mihir had shared a lot of information with me about Danish, what a humanitarian he was, he had a lot of humanity and he loved children. We have kind of brought up all those aspects about him and that’s why we dedicated the film to him and all other photojournalists.” 

Talking about the challenges he faced while shooting for the film, Amit Sadh said, “There were no challenges, we were just in a tough terrain and there were lots of mosquitoes but you know we are grown up and we shouldn’t complain. Life is not easy and movie-making is not easy, so we just had to go and do our job. The day you go when you don’t have food in your tummy is challenging. To go and shoot with so many people taking care of you, there is no challenge. As actors, we are very pampered, so we just go and do our job, there is no drama.”

Amit Sadh also opened up on his upcoming movie with Esha Deol and shared his experience of working with her in the movie. The actor said, “Esha is a sweetheart. We are doing a film together and it’s called Main. It’s a film about an encounter specialist cop. It was fun working with Esha Deol, she is a thorough professional and an amazing, hardworking, and very very humble human being.” 

Ghuspaith is a hard-hitting short film that portrays the story of a land ravaged by militancy and an urgent, devastating refugee crisis; where the worth of human life becomes a question and many struggle to answer. The film starring Amit Sadh and Dibyendu Bhattacharya among others is set to feature in JioCinema Film Festival on September 29.
