Big loss

A lot of fans appeared immediately at the movie "Bumbarash". Actor Valery Zolotukhin has earned a huge recognition of millions of viewers. It's no wonder that people loved him so much. However, unfortunately, in March 2013 the artist died.

Colleagues called the actor simply - Bumbarashka. Ukrainian film director Nikolai Rasheev, who shot this film, remembers his protege with great warmth. According to him, the artist was a complex man with many complexes. Tried to the role of Bumbarash originally Kononov Michael. And he worked perfectly. The director knew him even after studying at VGIK. After shooting in five small episodes, he left everyone satisfied. However, something suggested to Racheyev that the film would turn out to be too natural, calm and predictable. He also wanted the so-called "deviation from the norm."

"Deviation from the norm"

Thus, it was necessary to decide something with the shooting of the movie "Bumbarash". Actor Valery Zolotukhin met with Rashayev on the eve of the work on the picture. The director did not know the artist, but he heard his singing in a Moscow church. He did not just sing well. The thing is that every time the song in his performance sounded like a confession. Rashaev, as a director, was important was the basis on which he could build roles, working on the film. With Zolotukhin, he began to work "out of evangelical considerations." He created the so-called "life of Bumbarash". By the way, the shirt of the protagonist is much more like a rag. But the acting technique on samples compared with the technique of Kononov from Zolotukhin was much weaker.

The film was commissioned by Central Television. Filming was controlled by artistic councils in Kiev and Moscow. In Kiev, Zolotukhin did not like. Everyone was very upset, like the actor himself. However, the director asked Valery to sing something for the crew. Picking up the accordion and sitting on the chair, the artist with pleasure performed a Russian folk song. That's exactly when everyone saw the future of Bumbarash. He lost the trial, but did not even give up. This is exactly what the director imagined himself to be the main character. In a word, Rashayev, though with difficulty, nevertheless managed to convince the artistic council of the correctness of the choice.

Uneasy shooting

Let's sum up, considering the film "Bumbarash". Actors and roles were chosen just perfect. However, they were not always given to them easily. Zolotukhin, for example, often recalled how he had to sit in the swamp, then fall from the balloon. By the way, shooting a scene with a balloon in general turned out to be very interesting. Work on it was supposed to start in the summer, and Zolotukhin had to sit in the basket barefoot. However, it began already with the advent of the first snow. Valery refused to put on his shoes. The swamp, fortunately for the actor, was filmed in the summer. After sitting there a few hours down his throat, the actor still did not complain. And there were many such moments.

In a word, if you want to cheer yourself up, watch the movie "Bumbarash". Actors and roles will not disappoint you!
