Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor, who was recently seen in a cameo appearance in the webseries ‘Cinema Marte Dum Tak’, said that he became a part of the project because he wanted to add value by being a platform where the pulp filmmakers could talk freely.
The actor said: “My role in the series is a cameo or a special appearance. I wanted to add value by being a platform where these filmmakers could talk freely. I was just happy to be a part of this moment for them, which was celebrating them and getting their due.”
The docu-series sheds light on the pulp film industry of India which works under a lot of resource constraints. Considered to be a cottage-style filmmaking industry, the series focuses on showing what and who contributed to the 90s Pulp Cinema, a genre of content that had a strong and loyal fan following in its heydays.
It features celebrated pulp filmmakers like Dilip Gulati, J. Neelam, Kishan Shah, and Vinod Talwar, who were some of the then-successful names in the industry.
Arjun further said: “Prime Video gave them a platform which was not intended to make fun of. They are not trying to make it tacky, but are highlighting the people who have had this journey. I was very happy to be a part of this environment where they could tell their side of the story.”
A Vice Studios Production, the six-episode docu-series, created by Vasan Bala and co-directed by Disha Rindani, Xulfee, and Kulish Kant Thakur, is currently streaming on Prime Video.
