“It was very touching”: ‘Hanuman Ansh’ director reacts to ‘Parvati’ song being performed before PM Modi
Hanuman Ansh director Vishal Chaturvedi shares his moving experience as his song Parvati was performed in the presence of PM Narendra Modi.
Vishal Chaturvedi, the director behind the film Hanuman Ansh, expressed deep emotion after witnessing his musical work being performed in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a recent event in Delhi.
A Surprise Performance at Bhajan Clubbing
The filmmaker revealed that the team had arrived at the Bhajan Clubbing event with the intention of performing several tracks, including the song ‘Parvati’, ‘Hanuman Chalisa’, and ‘Hriday Mein Jinke Sitaram’. However, the atmosphere changed significantly when they discovered that the Prime Minister would be in attendance.
Chaturvedi noted that while the event was filled with energetic youth, seeing the Prime Minister enjoy the musical renditions was a standout moment. He described the experience as truly beautiful and moving, especially considering the current success of his work.
"You are sitting in front of the Prime Minister of the country when ‘Hanuman Ansh’, which has just reached every home, the song ‘Parvati’, that is currently charting at number two in the world... seeing all this, it really touches the heart," the director told ANI.
The Art of Portraying Spirituality
Beyond the excitement of the performance, Chaturvedi touched upon the complexities of filmmaking, specifically the challenge of bringing spiritual themes to a modern audience with authenticity and sensitivity. He emphasized that a director's personal connection to the subject matter is vital.
According to the director, there are two key pillars for handling such subjects:
- Sensitivity: The creator must approach the topic with profound respect and care.
- Faith: Having a genuine belief in the subject being explored is essential for a truthful portrayal.
Chaturvedi argued that a creator's internal perspective inevitably shapes their work. He suggested that if a filmmaker lacks faith in society or possesses an antisocial outlook, those negative elements will naturally seep into their films.
