“Wo Bhi Din The,” directed by Sajid Ali and starring Rohit Saraf, Sanjana Sanghi, and Adarsh Gourav, has finally been released 11 years after it was made. Initially titled “Banana,” the film was inspired by Sajid Ali’s life and was filmed in 2015. However, it was shelved during post-production and has only now seen the light of day.
An interesting fact is that this film marked the first time the main cast worked together. The movie was shot at Sajid Ali’s alma mater, Loyola School in Jamshedpur, and revolves around the students of the school, even including them as part of the cast.
The director Ali, fully believes that had the medium of OTT not popped in, his film would still be lying in the cans. “I actually don’t know why the film had not been released then, OTT has offered a second life to people like us.”
Over the years, many members of the cast have moved on from acting and are now pursuing other careers. “Wo Bhi Din The” stands as the first film Sajid Ali directed, capturing a nostalgic glimpse into his hometown and early life.
The long-delayed release of “Wo Bhi Din The” has now given audiences the chance to witness a piece of cinematic history and the early performances of actors who have since made a name for themselves in the industry.
