Natha’s ingenuousness and placidity in Peepli Live worked wonders for the film’s layered and hard-hitting message.
The actor Omar Das Manikpur, who played a farmer driven to commit suicide, won a lot of accolades for the role.
He has now been signed for Qasam Se Qasam Se, a film to be directed by debutant Ashafaque Makrani. Manikpur will make an entry as Natha and will go on to play his screen character.
Director Ashafaque said, “In Peepli Live towards the end, it is shown that Natha is fed-up of the constant glare of politicians, society and the media.
In my film we continue the penniless state of Natha, who still wants to commit suicide. He jumps on to the protagonist’s car.
New actor Azim plays the protagonist who then rescues Natha and later helps him transform his perception towards life.”
