Super cool hunk Ashmit Patel is busy promoting his forthcoming film ‘Toss', which is directed by a new-fangled director. Never mind if ‘Toss' goes for a toss, as Ashmit has major films lined up at the end of the year for release and bring him the much-needed recognition as an actor.

Apart from the contemporary character in ‘Toss', he will also be seen in the challenging character of a village man in the period film ‘Flag'. Though the Film is shot in Bhuj and the Rann of Kutch, the story is originally based in Kanakpur in Baliya and the characters created are more or less fictional, having the backdrop of pre-independence period.

"Story is basically excerpts, which are lost in pages of history. Most part of the country then did not even know the existence of British rule in India.

For them it was only their village that was known to them, in fact they didn't even recognize the borders of the country. These villagers had never seen a car; they were terrified of it, as if it was a monster. You will get the naïve and earthy feel of the then Indians in the film" he divulges.

Flag has a symbolic meaning in the film. When British-ers invaded the village they hoisted their flag pulling down the Indian flag.

None of the villagers would know the tri-colour and its significance, but there is only one person in the village that knows about the flag, as he is into the trade of dyeing clothes. "I am playing a villager Deva in the film. He is very passionate and an aggressive villager who thinks from his heart and not from head. I hardly look like a villager.

I certainly can't relate to this character, as I could never imagine myself wearing dhoti like typical Villagers, " the actor briefs about his part in the film ‘Flag'.

Film was intended for a release this Independence Day, but got delayed as it could not be completed. The release is not yet dated, which makes us wonder are the makers waiting for the next national day.
