Madhur Agarwal’s inspiration is Raj Kapoor in Gemplex’s nextrelease “Lips Don’t Lie”
Raj Kapoor’s famousdialogue from the movie Sangam “Hum tohdil ke saudagar hai.. dil khareedthe hai.. dil bechte hai..” tellsabout the state of his heart when he is torn between love and friendship.Madhur Agarwal uses this genealogy to the hilt and gets inspired by his idolRaj Kapoor’s take on love as base for his next directorial “Lips Don’t Lie”, anoriginal series premiering on 25th October on Gemplex.
DirectorMadhur Agarwal is anardent fan of Raj Kapoor’s way of presenting the relations and the conflictslike possession, obsession or just plain love arising from it. The prevailinglayer of drama beneath every relationship, especially between two lovers iswhat Raj Kapoor explored to the core, Madhur also tries to achieve the same ina tactfully knotted anthology of 4 stories in “Lips Don’t Lie”, starring Tanuj Virwani, Aahana Kumra, Chirag Bajaj, Charlie Chauhan,Gireesh Sahdev, Rachel White, Kunwar Amar and Sanjjanaa Galrani. The seriesalso boasts of seasoned actors like Shishir Sharma, Ayaz Ahmed and Nina Sarkarin exciting roles.Madhur adds
“Raj Kapoor always used women as a metaphor to showcase the changing face of thesociety. He finely weaved stories with women in the centre of the plot, butalways added drama by making her relations go through different emotions. It would also be apt to add thatthese stories were way ahead of their time and had a bold backdrop setting. In ‘Lips Don’t Lie’, we have four stories aptly titled afterRaj Kapoor films, thoughthey are nowhere similar to the films at all. It would be more appropriate tocall them a modern take to these titles viz-a-viz the storyline”. MadhurAgarwal had earlier directed contents like “Whats Your Status” and Karan SinghGrover’s “Selfie”.Gemplex Chairman & MD Mr.Prakash Tiwari said “We are quite excited, can’t wait for the series ‘LipsDon’t Lie’ to release and hear from the audience themselves as to what theyfeel. We have tried to get back to the roots of great storytelling with amodern view in our next release. Our valued customers would be pleasantlysurprised by our choice of content this time around”.Lips Don’t Lie is a romantic thriller which promises to be spine chillingexperience based on love and relationships with extraordinary twists and turns,premiering worldwide on 25th October 2020 on Gemplex.
