Faissal Khan who is known for his rugged yet soft-hearted Shankar Shane in Mela (2000), is all set for a robust comeback after a hiatus of 19 years in his upcoming thriller film Faactory.
Asked about what got him on board with this film, Faissal says he was instantly interested after hearing the story idea and saw its potential. He has been involved with Faactory right from the inception of its screenplay and once the script was ready his interest only grew further. He had an enormous responsibility as a debut director but he was very clear about what he wanted. “Filmmaking is a mammoth task. you've got to be totally focused and take many choices on the spot, none of which may be considered trivial.” As an actor, his primary focus was on bringing out the simplest in his character but as a director, he had to specialize in every aspect of the film right from pre-production and shooting till post-production. Before the shoot, he had meticulously planned everything - scene-wise breakdowns of costumes and properties, even the shot division along with his cameraman. He conducted workshops at his house with all the actors and blocked the scenes. The result was a smooth and satisfactory shooting process. He thinks a vital quality in him as a director is that after the editing of the film, he could detach himself from it and look from a viewer’s perspective and make the mandatory corrections during its post-production.
Talking about singing for a romantic track within the film he says, “I used to do singing years back. that specializes in the texture of the song is the most vital .” On being asked about his favorite moment from the film, he calls the whole film his ‘baby’. But he really enjoyed shooting for a fun song “Friday ho, dry day ho……mala daru pahije.”
Faissal says he has put altogether his knowledge, experience, craft of filmmaking into this film and it's thanks to the Supreme Power’s blessings that the film has turned out quite well. Regarding his faith in God, he shared experience during a shoot in Saputara, Gujarat when it started raining heavily bringing the shoot to a halt. The weather outlook showed heavy rain on a subsequent day too. But his prayers were answered because it didn't rain subsequent day and only once they had completed the shoot and packed up, it started raining again.
He says that Faactory has an intriguing plot and therefore the audience will love all the twists and turns. Faissal is all praises for his team and therefore the producers for their faith in his vision. However, he humbly vests the final verdict of the film on the audiences which is extremely important. He feels only their feedback and appreciation will decide if he has managed to entertain them together with his honest efforts and emotions in the film.
Faactory will have a worldwide digital release and therefore the makers will soon start the promotions and release the trailer and songs. The film also stars debutante Roaleey Ryan as the female lead alongside Raj Kumar Kanojia, Ribbhu Mehra, Sharad Singh, and Asha Singh.
whose impressive performance as the brooding badass in Mela is all ready to form a smashing comeback, now both as an actor and a debutant director with his new film FAACTORY. A romantic-thriller, Faissal Khan is certain that this film will bounce his career back again in the spotlight. "Faactory is an edge-of-the-seat thriller, filled with interesting twists and turns which will keep the audience glued to the story," Faissal Khan said. “With only a few but very intense characters, the film may be a fast-paced suspense narrative. That’s all I can reveal right now without spoiling the fun for audiences, but I can assure you that you simply will be thoroughly entertained.” Audiences also will see him singing a romantic track in this movie for the first time. “Although it took loads of diligence, I’m glad and excited about how the song claded. I’m hoping people like and appreciate my effort."
We were extremely lucky to have finished shooting before the nationwide lockdown began, and I also didn’t face much hassle during post-production activities
Serving as an actor, singer, and director for 'Faactory', Faissal Khan is sort of a triple-threat and all set to win his well-earned spot on the silver screen. The expected release for his film is towards the top of the year. “We’re deciding upon an OTT platform where ‘Factory’ will receive a worldwide release, and we’ll release a trailer very soon."
