Suresh Triveni makes an interesting revelation on directing Anil Kapoor in Subedaar, says, “It was a dream come true!”
After winning hearts with nuanced, character-driven stories like Tumhari Sulu and Jalsa, filmmaker Suresh Triveni is stepping into deeply emotional territory with Subedaar. The director recently revealed that the film carries profound personal significance for him, describing it as a tribute to the star who shaped his cinematic sensibilities, Subedaar’s megastar, Anil Kapoor.
Sharing a personal anecdote, Suresh Triveni says, “I’m a boy from Ranchi, and there was a whole Munna phase after Tezaab released. I clearly remember I used to flaunt the laadla orange shirt as a kid. For a small town kid to Imagine he will direct his matinee idol is nothing short of a miracle.”
Subedaar is personal. Looking back, Suresh Triveni admits the journey that followed is one he wouldn’t trade for anything on earth. What started as a spontaneous idea evolved into a deeply personal commitment, a film driven by emotion, conviction, and what he calls his own “stubbornness.” This medium is about conviction and once I shared this idea with Vikram, he backed it instantly and picked up the call on Anil Kapoor. And what further amazed me was the trust Anil Kapoor showed on me without flinching for a moment.
