Banita Sandhu: Sircar didn’t hold workshops for OCTOBER

Filmmaker Shoojit Sircar did not hold workshops for the actors of his forthcoming film OCTOBER as he wanted raw emotions, says newcomer Banita Sandhu.

"Shoojit Sir wanted raw emotions, hence there were no workshops held for us. This helped us to explore ourselves and bring out our emotions in the most natural manner," Banita said in a statement.

"I could not have asked for a better debut than 'October'. Having worked with him in an ad before, Shoojit Sir is par excellence," she added.

Her co-star Varun Dhawan, known for films like JUDWAA 2 and BADLAPUR, called Sircar a genius.

"His style of working has not only made me grow as an actor but also changed me personally as a human being. My brief was simple, I had to play myself onscreen. I was amazed to see my own performance in
the film and it wouldn't have been possible without him," said the son of filmmaker David Dhawan.

OCTOBER is set to release on April 13.

Rajkummar Rao: I like female attention

0

Rajkummar Rao loves all the attention he is getting, and says he is overwhelmed with his increasing number of female fans.

"I like attention. I like female attention as well. It is very overwhelming. I have seen that there is growth in the amount of people who used to like me and it has gone up thanks to the whole of last year," Rajkummar told IANS in an interview.

"It is very encouraging also in a way… People like me, they are appreciating my work and the kind of films that I am doing," he added.

He entered filmdom with an interesting role in 2010 with LOVE SEX AUR DHOKHA and went on cement his position in the industry with back-to-back powerful performances in films like KAI PO CHE!, SHAHID, ALIGARH, CITYLIGHTS, BAREILLY KI BARFI and NEWTON.

For Rajkummar, it is very important to reinvent with each project.

"Otherwise it gets boring. Once you find your comfort zone and you keep working in that comfort zone, after a while it gets very boring. You have to keep evolving and keep growing. And growth only happens when you push yourself," he said.

Last year in particular was good for Rajkummar as his film NEWTON became India's official entry for the Oscars — though it could not make it to the final list.

So, does this validation add any pressure while picking projects?

"The offers are more or else same what it was earlier. My process hasn't changed. I was being very selective even when I just started out with ‘LSD' and ‘RAGINI MMS'. I always tend to choose some unconventional things in life," he said.

The unconventional aspect stands true for his forthcoming project OMERTA too. He will be seen bringing the life of a dreaded terrorist alive on the big screen with the Hansal Mehta directorial.

It is based on British-Pakistani terrorist Omar Saeed Sheikh's life. Presented by Swiss Entertainment and Karma Media, and produced by Nahid Khan, the film is releasing on April 20.

"I love taking risks. That is what I do as an actor. I love challenges. I want to push myself as an actor with every film and whenever it is possible I try to do that with all my characters. OMERTA offered me something very unique, something which I have never done earlier in my life. Here you can read Fair binary option broker reviews and latest information about binary options world

"It is a story of an evil mind and I wanted to explore that evil genre," he said.

Getting into the psyche of a terrorist was not easy.

"He is somebody I don't connect with. I have no idea about his world. But I have to do it. It is my responsibility as an actor to do it. I started by reading a lot of books on terrorism, different groups and how they function," he said, adding that he is not afraid to take risks due to the fear of failures.

Christopher Nolan to talk about film preservation in India

0

Christopher Nolan one of the most iconic filmmaker in the world is coming to India to talk about preserving film, its legacy and why it is an essential aspect of Indian film tradition, along with Tacita Dean and Shivendra Singh Dungarpur, filmmaker and founding director of Film Heritage Foundation.

The director of blockbuster hits like The DARK NIGHT series, INCEPTION and THE PRESTIGE, Christopher Nolan believes in the traditional method of filming and has on various occasions voiced out his dissatisfaction with digital and how the global industry is forgetting the art form that flourished it and now almost seems like a distant memory. Both Nolan and Dean feel strongly that India with its proud cinema tradition is an important place where film should be encouraged to flourish but instead it has been allowed to almost disappear.

 Tacita Dean further added, "As an artist who makes and exhibits film for reasons indexical to the medium, I have had no choice but to fight to get film re-appreciated for what it is: a beautiful, robust and entirely different way of making and showing images in the museum and in the cinema. Film has characteristics integral to its chemistry and internal discipline that form my work and I cannot be asked to separate the work from the medium that I used to make it. We need to keep the medium distinct from the technology; we need to keep the choke of film available for artists, filmmakers and audiences.”

Through this event, Christopher Nolan and Tacita Dean will explore the importance and differences of shooting on film and why it is essential to keep it available as a medium for future generations. They will also focus on preserving on film and seeing films projected on film as an essential part of our visual experience and history, asking how can any cultural heritage remain intelligible when handed down to future generations without attention to its medium? And finally, they will discuss the necessity of determining new archival and exhibition standards that secure film's future, and why the debate around film needs to change.

Speaking about the event Christopher Nolan said, "Tacita and I are delighted to join with Shivendra and the Film Heritage Foundation in presenting ‘Reframing the Future of Film in Mumbai’. India has such wonderful cinema and such a rich history of art that everything needs to be done to not only encourage its proper preservation for future generations but also to re-introduce the film medium to the younger artists and filmmakers in the country.”

It was in Los Angeles in 2015 that Tacita Dean and Christopher Nolan staged the first in this series of important events highlighting the necessity of preserving photochemical film in the digital age. Both are passionate advocates within their fields for film not simply as a technology but as a medium that offers intrinsically rich and unique qualities needed by artists and filmmakers, as well as a hugely engaging experience for audiences.

"We are honoured to welcome Tacita and Christopher to India as our guests to speak for the cause of celluloid. We deeply appreciate their support for a cause that our foundation stands for. Since our inception, we have been speaking for film as a shooting, exhibition and archival medium. We have been fighting a lone battle and we finally have the support from two of the leading film exponents in the world. We are sure that their advocacy will have a great impact in getting this message across to both the film and art communities in India."

Beginning at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, Reframing the Future of Film brought together significant professionals for the first time from art, film preservation and the cinema industry to discuss the tangible steps that needed to be taken to protect the medium of film and its legacy in order to reposition its importance in an aggressive digital market. Subsequent events have been held in Tate Modern in London in conjunction with the BFI during the London Film

The Future of Film in India event in India includes four public events over three days from March 30 – April 1, 2018. Beginning with Public Lecture/talk by Tacita Dean at the Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum, followed by screening of DUNKIRK in 70mm at Carnival Wadala on 31st March, Christopher Nolan will give the introduction followed by a 35 mm film screening of “Interstellar” at Liberty Cinema and it will be concluded with a conversation with Christopher Nolan, Tacita Dean and Shivendra Singh Dungarpur on April 01 2018 at NCPA.

Rannvijay Singha: Films are bigger than other mediums is an illusion

0

Actor-TV host Rannvijay Singha, who has worked in the film and television space, says it's just a perception that the movie platform is bigger than other mediums.

Rannvijay, who started out his journey as the winner of MTV "Roadies" and has since worked in a plethora of shows, has featured in films like SHARAFAT GAYI TEL LENE, MOD, ACTION REPLAYY and LONDON DREAMS.

Asked why is he not doing films that much, Rannvijay told IANS here: "There is a big thing that people say that 'A film has come'. It takes an entire year to work in a film, then promote it and then it releases… But when I work (on TV) for six months, it shows for the next two years. It is just an illusion that films are big than other (mediums)."

For him, films aren't necessarily priority.

"If I have a hit show on the Internet or TV, then it is bigger than some films… Till the time there is no fun in a film or if I am not getting an interesting character or if it coming in the way of my other things, films won't get a priority just because it's a film that is only in our heads," he added.

Rannvijay said he is doing good till the time he is balancing his work right.

"I am doing a small film this year. I did Punjabi films and I just finished a web series… So, acting can happen in a one-minute Instagram thing, web-series, TV and films. Till the time I can do all of it in the right balance, I am good," he said.

On the work front, Rannvijay is currently seen on the 15th season of the youth based reality show "Roadies Xtreme" on MTV. He was here to shoot a task for it.
