What Did The Director Say?

Speaking to HT, the director of Body Roll, Prakarsh Tiwari said, “I am inspired by a lot of cinema, art, music videos, mythology, fashion, animation from all around the world. So there are definitely fantasy and surrealist influences which people may connect with. But this project was created with it’s own emotional language, it has a different storyline altogether. I agree that there’s inspiration from LDR (Jibaro) for that matter in two things.”

“Body Roll is a music video. If people are comparing it to something like Jibaro which is so huge and award-winning, that would not be a fair comparison. On the other hand, while it’s a compliment because people are saying we recreated Jibaro, I disagree with it. If you see the whole music video, you will realise that the storyline is very different,” he says on the overall concept.

“If we are treating a lake as a sacred place, and Nora Fatehi comes out of it, using fabric wouldn’t have looked nice. So you need metals. I had two options to go with- either a lot of jewellery, a metal based costume, or coins. We use both the costumes in the video. So inspiration has always been a part of filmmaking. What matters is how you reinterpret emotions and create something that resonates with people in your own voice. This wasn’t about recreating something frame to frame,” he signs off.
