‘Haathi Mere Saathi’ actress Shriya Pilgaonkar seeks harmony with nature

Actress Shriya Pilgaonkar says her film ‘Haathi Mere Saathi’ has an important and incredibly relevant story to tell. It explores the delicate relationship shared between humans and the wild.

She says: “For the ecosystem to survive, there has to be a harmonious balance. Us humans have already destroyed a lot of the planet but nature is God and God is nature. This was my first experience shooting in an actual rainforest and just being disconnected with no network was enough to get into the full feel of the film and what this story stands for.”

Shriya is playing the role of ‘Arundhati’, on the question how she relates with her character, she says ‘Arundhati’ always actively seeks the truth and fights for it. “She is someone who can’t be silenced. Personally, I think courage in one’s life needs to be constantly worked upon in various areas of our life and sometimes the characters I play give me that courage to become the person I seek to be.”

Directed by Prabu Solomon, the film talks about the strong bond between humans and animals. The film stars Rana Daggubati, Pulkit Samrat, Shriya Pilgaonkar, Zoya Hussain and Anant Mahadevan.

Shriya further shares her working experience with Rana Daggubati who is playing the role of ‘Bandev’ in the movie. While talking about him she says: “When I first saw Rana Daggubati as ‘Bandev’ I couldn’t recognise him. His transformation into the character was so seamless and surreal.”

Nature thrived during lockdown and Shriya strongly feels about it. “This lockdown we all thrived to be better, we looked inwards to rebuild ourselves. Nature did the same. It had time to heal. Nature bloomed once it was least interrupted, it gave us hope for a healthier tomorrow,” she says.

Shriya will soon be doing a legal drama and other comedy projects. However, she has not opened up about them. “I have some exciting projects coming up which haven’t been officially announced yet. One is a legal drama and the other is a quirky comedy. I also have the second Season of ‘Gone Game’ and ‘Crackdown’ along with a film in the pipeline,” concludes Shriya.

‘Haathi Mere Saathi’ will have a Direct-to-TV release on Zee Cinema on September 18.

Leslie Grace reveals how she found out she was ‘Batgirl’

Actress Leslie Grace has revealed how she found out that she’d been cast as Barbara Gordon in ‘Batgirl’, the upcoming superhero film.

The ‘In the Heights’ star was asked by the filmmakers to jump on a last-minute Zoom for a final casting test before being directed to read the text of an email they had just sent her, reports variety.com.

“I open it and it says, ‘I’m Batgirl’…and my brain broke,” Grace said at the MTV VMAs on Sunday at Barclays Center in New York.

She said, “It was an incredible moment. When I mean incredible, I mean the textbook definition of, I could not believe it. My brain actually broke when I got the news.”

Grace immediately got to work by reading as many comics as she could.

“That was my first question – what do I read? I’m like, ‘Send me everything I need to learn.’ I just bought every comic and just starting asking so many questions.”

She can’t reveal the film’s storyline or if any of her Batman counterparts like Robert Pattinson and Ben Affleck will be popping up in her movie.

“But I will tell you this, Batgirl is a badass. She’s definitely going to be fighting lots of people. She’ll be very hands-on. She’s got a lot to prove.”

The actress hopes young fans will be inspired by a Latina Batgirl and that her work “validates the dreams of other people who look like me, who may feel it’s not an opportunity for them. I’m just really excited about every young girl who is going to see a Dominican Batichica and say, ‘I can do that,'” she said. “I can’t wait.”

It was announced in July that Grace had bagged the title role.

Filming is expected to begin in November.

UPSC aspirant on ‘KBC 13’ gets valuable life lessons from Big B

A 26-year-old UPSC aspirant Akshay Jyot Ratnu will be seen making his way to the ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 13’ hotseat.

Akshay has been trying to clear his UPSC exam from 2017 and hasn’t been selected yet. Because of this, his family members and relatives constantly taunt him which seems to have hampered his self-confidence and morale. Only to build that back again, with his hard work and dedication he will be seen making his way to the hotseat tonight.

Expressing his feelings, Akshay shares: “Almost all of my family members are in the Civil Services. I don’t step out of the house during the day because I might meet someone, my neighbours or relatives who ask me what’s going on in my career? I don’t have an answer to that.”

He continues: “All those conversations then start running in my head for almost a week. Why did someone think that I am useless or say things like, ‘He still didn’t pass the selection process? my kid has already been selected, you’ve spent so much on him and what did you get?’ All these conversations break my morale. When I stop studying or preparing for the exam and someone calls me useless, I will accept that. But I’m still studying, yet why do people say such things?”

To this, Amitabh says: “I really like the way you speak with so much honesty. Don’t take what people say to your heart. Don’t feel disheartened. I cannot contribute to your hard work but will always support you.”

Residing in Jodhpur, Rajasthan currently, he has completed his B.A and M.A LLB from Ramjas College, Delhi University and Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai.

Akshay also went back with some sound advice from Amitabh when he asked him how he dealt with the hardships to reach where he is today.

Responding to him, Amitabh shares: “Many a times, it was like everything has come to an end, there’s no hope. I did go to Babu ji (father Harivansh Rai Bachchan) once and told him ‘Babuji there are a lot of struggles in life’. To which he said, ‘So long as there is life there will be struggle’.

Amid thunderous applause, he further added, “Just how a lift opens when you keep your finger in the middle, (life is just like that) Similarly, just keep a finger and that door will open.”

‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 13’ airs on Sony Entertainment Television.
