Development[edit]
"What ‘Tamasha’ is trying to say is that don't be satisfied with the stories you hear around you, create your own myth, choose your own story. Sometimes in trying to belong, you lose your edge, you become blunt and you forget who you are unless someone comes to remind you, someone who has seen you at that time. It’s not that simple because it takes the undoing of entire life’s experience to get in touch with yourself and your wild energy."
—Imtiaz Ali on his film, in an interview withPress Trust of India.
In 2013, Ali began working on this project after Rockstar, collaborating once again with Ranbir Kapoor and A. R. Rahman .[9]Deepika Padukone was confirmed as the lead female in September 2013.[10] The project was initially titled Window Seat[11] but later changed to Tamasha.[12] The troupe played by Kapoor and Padukone is one of the reasons for the film's title Tamasha as it refers to the Shakespearean monologue, 'All the world's a stage and all the men and women merely players'.[13] In August 2014, Padma Bhushan winnerTeejan Bai was roped in to perform Pandavani and narrations of theMahabharata for the film.[14] In an interview with The Press Trust of India, Ali outlined the generalised storyline, "You meet a certain person and you are very enchanted by him. He is free flowing and your type and then you lose touch. Years later when you meet, he is absolutely somebody else."[2]
Characters[edit]
Ranbir Kapoor's character is about a person who is enchanted by stories, who grows up hearing them and expresses himself by performing them. Kapoor plays a free spirited person who wants everybody around him to be happy. He is a nomad, going out of his way to please people.[13] The film portrays Kapoor's life in three stages–as a nine-year-old child, a 19-year-old adolescent and a 30-year-old foreign-returned adult.[8]
In an interview with Mumbai Mirror, Deepika Padukone stated that her character is a fan of the French comic series,Asterix, which takes place in Corsica, France.[13] In the film it sets out on an adventure wherein she meets Kapoor's character.[13] They both explore the island and, along the way, they form a troupe to stage dramatic plays and fall passionately in love.[13] In January 2015, Ali roped in few working officials of the tea auctioneer company J Thomas & Co. Pvt. Ltd. for the film. They were not auditioned but directly chosen to play their characters.[7] In an explanation to the connection with company and Kolkata, Ali was quoted, "The character that Deepika plays in the movie is Tara Maheshwari and her family owns many tea gardens. We’ve borrowed the title of Darjeeling Impex[15] to portray the company for the film."[7] In the film, Tara's father hands over his tea business to Tara so that she starts a line of tea boutiques, taking the company ahead.[7]
