Harry Thakur – A Journey From Banking To Bollywood

हैरी ठाकुर, बैंकिंग जॉब से बॉलीवुड तक का सफ़र

हैरी ठाकुर, एक ऐसा नाम जो आजकल बॉलीवुड में एक कास्टिंग डायरेक्टर के रूप में अपनी एक ख़ास पहचान बनाये हुए हैं! अगर मैं आपसे बोलूं कि हैरी ठाकुर ने इस मुकाम तक पहुँचने के लिए अत्यंत संघर्ष किया, तो शायद यह कोई बहुत बड़ी बात नहीं होगी, लेकिन बहुत ही रोमांचक होगा जब आपको पता चलेगा कि हैरी ने बैंकिंग जॉब छोड़कर मुंबई की राह पकड़ी जहाँ साफ़ था कि उन्हें संघर्ष करना हैं!

हैरी ठाकुर का जन्म सितम्बर 21, 1990 को मध्य प्रदेश में भिंड नामक स्थान पर हुआ था! उन्होंने जीवाजी यूनिवर्सिटी ग्वालियर से ग्रेजुएशन कम्पलीट की! पिता श्री उदयवीर सिंह तौमर एक गवर्नमेंट एम्प्लोयी हैं और माँ श्रीमती राजकुमारी तौमर एक गृहणी हैं! हैरी ठाकुर को बचपन से ही अभिनय के क्षेत्र में रूचि थी! ग्रेजुएशन करके उन्हें बैंक में जॉब मिल गयी लेकिन शायद हैरी ठाकुर उतने में खुश होने वाले नहीं थे उनका सपना तो बॉलीवुड नगरी मुंबई का था और कहते भी हैं न कि सही इंसान अपने सही स्थान पर पहुँच ही जाता है चाहे देर से ही सही, ठीक बात यहाँ साबित हुई और हैरी ठाकुर ने अपनी बैंकिंग जॉब छोड़ दी, और मुंबई रवाना हो गये! भिण्ड जैसी छोटी जगह से निकले तौमर ठाकुर परिवार से सम्बन्ध रखने वाले हैरी ठाकुर को मुंबई जैसे बड़े शहर में इतने कास्टिंग डायरेक्टर्स के बीच में अपनी एक अलग पहचान बना पाना बेहद मुश्किल था किन्तु अपनी मेहनत व् लग्न से वह हैरी ठाकुर से कास्टिंग डायरेक्टर हैरी ठाकुर बन गये!

हैरी ठाकुर ने 2014 में चैनल V के गुमराह नामक सीरियल से शुरुआत की जोकि एक बड़ी शुरुआत रही! गुमराह को करने के बाद उनके पास अन्य प्रोडक्शन हाउसेस से ऑफर आने शुरू होगये और इस तरह उनकी बॉलीवुड में छोटे परदे से लेकर बड़े परदे तक एक ख़ास पहचान बन गयी! गुमराह के बाद उन्होंने कलर्स चैनल के शो ‘कसम तेरे प्यार की’, जी टीवी के शो ‘कुमकुम भाग्य’,MTV स्प्लिटविला, सावधान इंडिया एवं क्राइम पट्रोल इत्यादि बड़े बड़े टीवी सीरियल के कास्टिंग की! हैरी ठाकुर ने बालाजी टेलीफिल्म्स के साथ किये गए प्रोजेक्ट्स के बारे में बताते हुए टीम की अत्यधिक तारीफ की, साथ ही उन्होंने कहा कि अगर भविष्य में बालाजी टेलीफिल्म्स के साथ करने का मौका मिला तो अवश्य करेंगे!

हैरी ठाकुर इन दिनों उनके कुछ आगामी बॉलीवुड प्रोजेक्ट्स को लेकर बिजी हैं उन्होंने बताया कि इन प्रोजेक्ट्स के बारे में वह जल्द ही मीडिया को बताएँगे !

Director Vicky Ranawat Has Give Me A Dream Role  in HASEENA – INAYATT SHARMA

HASEENA is the latest film which Vicky Ranawat has directed and the film is betting ready for an early release. The film’s heroine is Inayatt Sharma who has excelled herself in the glamour department has given an excellent performance. Those who have watched the rush print of the film are already predicting her future to be very bright as a glamour doll who is the need of the hour. Inayatt feels that HASEENA is indeed the film which has already shaped her future as she has received more than dozen offers to act in Bollywood as well as South films even before the release of this film.  Excerpts.

HASEENA has come to you as a blessing.  Comments.

After acting in my first film  CHINAR-DASTAAN-E-ISHQ , I took a break for nearly two years and waited for the right script to come to me. Several film offers did come to me but I was not so eager to act in these films until I got a call from Vicky Ranawat. When I went to meet him, he immediately asked me whether  I will do this role of HASEENA. I asked him about the subject and he just told me:” “Teen Ladke aapar  marte hain aur aap unko bewaqoof banate ho. ” I did get the script for a reading and I agreed to act in this film. I was treated very well by everyone in the unit. I got lots of options for my costumes and Vicky told me that I should look glamorous like Mumtaz and Zeenat Aman and I just followed his advice. Right from the styling of my hair, to the costumes, to the work shop, etc. I took Vicky Sir’s guidance and he went out of his way to help me achieve the character of Haseena. Mark my words, this kind of a break can be got by only few heroines who are indeed very lucky and I feel blessed. I will never be able to forget this film and also director Vicky Ranawat who has changed me completely from a sober heroine in my first film to the most glamorous heroine in my second film itself.

How was the experience while shooting the scenes with the three heroes of  HASEENA ? 

The mood of the film is exactly like that of  MASTI,FUKREY,CHASHME BUDDOOR and PYAR KA PANCHNAMA. So you can understand how these three boys Mohit Arora,Ankur Verma and Arpit Soni are fooled by me on the bed when they come to make love with me. The scenes have been shot very aesthetically and without any trace of vulgarity. I must add here that all the three heroes Mohit Arora,Arpit Soni and Ankur Verma have acted brilliantly and I still remember the first day’s shoot of HASEENA when I took part in those intimate scenes with all the three heroes. The entire shooting was  done with utmost dedication whether it be Future Studios, Goa or Udaipur, all the 30 days we were focussed in giving our very best. Seeing our work, Vicky Sir has already given all the four actors his next film too and this time, the script is again written , keeping the youth in mind. Vicky Sir told me that I can easily give hangover to all the male audiences once HASEENA gets released and this hangover will never go from the minds of the males.

How much confident are you now after working in HASEENA ?

I hope every director who will now direct me shower the same kind of affection shown by Vicky Ranawat ji and also guide me like he has done .  After the pack up every day, Vicky jee used to discuss everything in detail for the next day’s preparation and he would do everything  for the betterment of the film .  I wish that in all my future films I will continue to act in all kinds of films wherever I can get good scope to prove my talent. After all, an actor can only be focussed in his or her role and everything depends on how the director is shaping the character.

How much credit will you give hard work, luck and destiny ?

It is sheer destiny that I bagged the role of HASEENA and a God sent director like Vicky jee who is an extremely fine human being too. He treated me like a good friend and never like a heroine. I also think I am lucky to get such a good unit and our prayers have been answered and we all hope HASEENA will be appreciated by the audiences as the film is full of entertainment and also a very good musical score. I have three songs picturised on me which I feel is another bonus points for me. I am a God-fearing person and only God can shape our destiny. But hard work has to be done first and as an actor, I can only work very hard to prove my talent but it is upto the paying audiences who enter the cinema hall and pass their verdict on the film as a whole and that will be the real test for the film HASEENA.But the youth audiences will surely lap up this film and they may even repeat it to watch all those mastiful scenes in HASEENA.
