Kabir Bedi braves eight hour bumpy car ride to reach in time on the sets of ‘The Jangipur Trial’!
Sandokan aka #KabirBedi Returns yet again. This time as Royalty in #TheJangipurTrial. An amazing film with ensemble cast, it took the magical call of creative producer #AmitBehl and the intricate tapestry of a crime thriller woven by director Debaditya Bandopadhyay that made Kabir Bedi say an instant ‘Yes’ to The Jangipur Trial over a phone narration.
It is not just that. Kabir Bedi actually took the earliest flight the following day to the city of joy that is Kolkata, braved an eight hour road travel that is as rustic and bumpy as can be, freshened and reached the shoot the same day, looking as dashing (read ravishing) as ever!
The unit had already got his costumes in place and in the rural locale, there was still a vanity to welcome the enthusiastic actor.
“I simply love the story, the plot and the ensemble cast. It is a give and take of seasoned actors that takes film to another level,” reasons Bedi.
We are amazed by the relentless dedication of this amazing 75-year-young actor whose career has spanned three continents covering India, the United States and Italy among other European countries in through film, television and theatre. With nearly 150 films and international TV series including Sandokan, Knight Rider, Dynasty, Bold And The Beautiful, Highlander and the immortal Octopussy under his belt, it is fascinating that Kabir Bedi still craves for the creative high with every new project.
Looks like we just spelt out the secret of this timeless hunk’s success proving there is much much more to the rise and rise of Kabir Bedi that his eternal killer looks!
