Pooja Bhalekar

 I started my journey of martial arts from school time as I was never particularly interested in studies and always looked only towards sports activities

I started off with Yoga and then my interest shifted on to being an athlete, 100 meters’ sprint, high jump, 400 meters hurdles being my forte.
One day i saw some guys practicing kicks and punches, wearing white uniforms and i I got to know that it's a form of martial arts called Taekwondo. . I had an instinctive feeling that this is what my true calling was I i told my family about my decision and especially my mother was really supportive and my martial arts journey kick started.
Yoga helped me with my flexibility whereas my athletic background helped me with my endurance and strength and within a few years i got many recognitions in Taekwondo competitions
Was just focusing on my training day after day and year after year, when one day I got a call from Ram Gopal Varma, who somehow found out about me to ask if i could come to Mumbai to meet him.

That one meeting with him changed my life and made it take a very different turn... RGV is obsessed with Bruce Lee and his philosophy and through Rgv’s understanding of him. I too got hooked onto BRUCE LEE and started learning the particular fighting style of Bruce Lee called JEET KUNE DO to prepare myself for my role in LADKI
No one in the world, ever can be BRUCE LEE but I am thrilled with the opportunity of getting to do the role of BRUCE LEE’S biggest fan in my debut film LADKI
As Bruce Lee himself said, we are all here for a short time in life and the best times of our lives are even more shorter ..Being wise is not only for one to live one’s life in the best way possible, but it is also to live it in a way, what you yourself think is best for you.
It is impossible that any of us can satisfy everyone else around us and actually in the process of trying to do that is, when you will lose your own individuality and your uniqueness.

I consider my body and my fighting skills as my most valued possessions along with my dedication and my perseverance
All these I take them as God or nature given attributes and i worked very hard on making them my strengths.
First time ever on screen, I am getting an opportunity to show my body not just as a sensual female body but in a power equation as much as male action stars like Tiger Shroff, Hrithik Roshan etc and here I have an opportunity to make a style statement on behalf of all like-minded women  
I believe that a woman’s ultimate weapon is being a woman and that includes her sensual quotient and that also is a truest example for the ultimate woman empowerment
Woman empowerment is not about equal opportunities for a woman at work, but it’s also about treating her sensuality with respect and give it it’s due respect.
Through my photos, videos, songs and films, I want to push the limits of my capacity to make powerful weapons out of every part of mine whether it’s my body or my spirit or my skills or my sensuality by applying an intense but extremely disciplined determination.
Lastly I quote the legend himself
“No Limit Should Be Your Limit “
                                          Bruce Lee

राम गोपाल वर्मा ने भारत-चीन के संयुक्त प्रोडक्शन 'लड़की - एंटर का गर्ल ड्रैगन' का ट्रेलर रिलीज कर ब्रूस ली का दी श्रद्धांजलि

राम गोपाल वर्मा हमेशा से ही अलग तरह की फ़िल्में बनाए जाने‌ के‌ लिए जाने जाते हैं.

अब राम‌ गोपाल वर्मा ने अब तक की अपनी सबसे महत्वाकांक्षी और सबसे महंगी फिल्म 'लड़की - एंटर द गर्ल ड्रैगन' के ज़रिए सिनेमा के क्षेत्र में एक नई ऊंचाई हासिल करने की कोशिश की है. ग़ौरतलब है कि इस फिल्म का निर्माण भारत और चीन द्वारा संयुक्त रूप से किया गया है.

 

उल्लेखनीय है कि हाल ही में भारत और चीन के बीच गलवान घाटी में हुए संघर्ष के बाद 'लड़की - एंटर द गर्ल ड्रैगन' ऐसी पहली भारतीय फ़िल्म है, जो चीन में प्रदर्शित की जाएगी. चीन में इस फिल्म को प्रदर्शित किया जाना इस बात का सबूत है कि मार्शल आर्ट्स और सिनेमा ने चीन और भारत को सिनेमा के पटल पर फिर से साथ ला खड़ा कर दिया है.

 

इस फिल्म के माध्यम से राम गोपाल वर्मा ऐसे पहले फिल्ममेकर बन गये हैं जिन्होंने चीन की ऊंची दीवार को लांघते हुए इस फिल्म को भारत के साथ-साथ चीन में प्रदर्शित करने का ज़िम्मा उठाया है. फ़िल्म की रिलीज़ से पहले राम गोपाल वर्मा ने फ़िल्म के हिंदी और चीनी ट्रेलर को अपने आधिकारिक यूट्यूब पर अपलोड किया है. उल्लेखनीय है कि फिल्म के ट्रेलर को दर्शकों के साथ-साथ दोनों इंडस्ट्री से जुड़े लोगों की भी ख़ूब वाहवाही मिल रही है.

 

राम गोपाल वर्मा कहते हैं, "मैंने सरकार के ज़रिए 'द गॉड फ़ादर' को ट्रिब्यूट दिया था. उसी तरह से मैंने पूजा भालेकर को लेकर बनाई गई फ़िल्म 'लड़की - एंटर द ड्रैगन गर्ल' के‌ माध्यम से ब्रूस ली को लेकर बनाई गई विश्व की सबसे महान मार्शल आर्ट्स फ़िल्म 'एंटर द ड्रैगन' को विनम्र आदरांजलि देने‌ की कोशिश है."

 

ग़ौरतलब है कि पिछले साल गलवान घाटी में भारत और चीन के बीच हुई हिंसक झड़प के बाद 'एक लड़की : एंटर द गर्ल ड्रैगन' चीन में रिलीज की जानेवाली पहली भारतीय फ़िल्म होने का गौरव हासिल करेगी.

 

इस फ़िल्म को आर्ट्सी मीडिया और चीन के नामी फ़िल्म‌ प्रोडक्शन हाउस बिग पीपल ने मिलकर प्रोड्यूस किया है. भारत और चीन के सहयोग से बनी इस फ़िल्म‌ को मुम्बई, गोवा के कई लोकेशन समेत चीन में भी शूट किया गया है.
