वज़ीर

반테러 작전요원 다니쉬(파르한 악타르)는 딸 누리와 함께 차를 타고 가던 중 수배된 테러리스트를 발견하고 뒤를 쫓는다. 하지만 잠복한 일당들이 공격을 가해오면서 누리가 목숨을 잃고 만다. 아내 루하나(에디티 라오 히다리)는 딸의 죽음을 남편의 책임으로 돌리고 그를 떠난다. 다니쉬는 동료에게 엿들은 정보를 통해 딸을 죽인 테러리스트를 찾아내어 죽이지만 그 테러리스트를 생포할 계획이었던 상부에서는 다니쉬에게 책임을 물어 병가를 내게 한다. 다니쉬는 딸의 무덤 앞에서 자살을 시도하려다 땅에 떨어진 지갑을 발견한다. 지갑의 주인은 휠체어를 타는 체스 마스터 판디트(아미타브 밧찬)다. 누리의 체스 스승이었던 그는 다니쉬에게도 체스를 가르치면서 우정을 쌓는다. 이후 다니쉬는 판디트의 딸 니나의 죽음이 복지부 장관 이자드와 관련이 있고 그 뒤에는 테러리스트들이 있음을 알게 된다. '와지르'라는 제목은 체스 게임에서 오와 열, 대각선으로 이동할 수 있어 가장 가치 있는 말로 간주되는 '퀸'을 뜻한다. 그리고 이 영화에 등장하는 암살자(닐 니틴 무케쉬)의 별명이기도 하다.

흥미로운 사실

Wazir (transl. Vizier) is a 2016 Indian Hindi-language neo-noir action thriller film directed by Bejoy Nambiar and produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra. Written and edited by Abhijat Joshi and Chopra, the film stars Amitabh Bachchan and Farhan Akhtar alongside Aditi Rao Hydari, Manav Kaul and Neil Nitin Mukesh. John Abraham makes a special appearance. The film's dialogues and additional dialogues were written by Abhijeet Deshpande and Gazal Dhaliwal, respectively. The music was composed by Shantanu Moitra, Ankit Tiwari, Advaita, Prashant Pillai, Rochak Kohli and Gaurav Godkhindi, with the background score composed by Rohit Kulkarni. Sanu Varghese served as the film's cinematographer.

Production

The idea of Wazir came to Vidhu Vinod Chopra after badminton player Syed Modi was murdered on 28 July 1988 in Lucknow. However, Chopra has said that the film is completely different from the incident. When Chopra met his eventual co-writer Abhijat Joshi in 1994, he told him about the idea of setting a thriller around two chess players. Chopra described the two characters as "Rakesh Maria and Viswanathan Anand playing chess".

Chopra saw Bejoy Nambiar's 2013 film, David; he was particularly impressed by the black-and-white portions of it. Chopra subsequently called Nambiar and expressed a desire to work with the director; Chopra had a cache of unfilmed scripts, and Nambiar selected the chess one. Chopra and Joshi then spent two years writing a Hindi version of it.

Both Chopra and Joshi consulted chess experts from America for the film. The cinematography of the film was done by Sanu Varghese, who had previously worked with Nambiar on David. The film's story was tweaked constantly during its seven-month editing period; both writers also served as editors. This was the first time since his 1989 picture Parinda that Chopra had edited a film.

At the screening of Lakshya (2004), Chopra informed Farhan Akhtar about the script of Wazir, and wanted his feedback on it. Ten years later, in 2014, they met again, and Akhtar agreed to do the film because, as he later said, the revised script "moved me to my core". He went through intense training and put on eight kilograms of weight to play the role of an Anti Terrorist Squad officer.

Principal photography commenced on 28 September 2014 in Mumbai. Parts of the film were also shot in Delhi. Chopra stated, "Some of the best lines in Wazir were improvised" on set, including a joke about Russian vodka and Russian girls between Bachchan and Akhtar. Akhtar did his own stunts in the film. He completed his schedule in March 2015 at Srinagar, while Bachchan filmed his remaining scenes the following month.
