I had absolute fun exploring this side of me and trust me, Bijli is just a jhalak (glimpse); my fans will see a lot of dancing from me in this film. It was fun to share the dance floor with Kiara, she is an amazing co-star and a great dancer herself.”

“I love the desi vibe of the song and Ganesh master’s choreography with Mika paaji, Neha, and Sachin-Jigar’s vocals take the song a notch higher. I am in love with the song and hope my fans will also give it and the film all their love. It was fun to share the dance floor with Kiara, she is one of my favorite co-stars.”

Kiara Advani added that this is the first time she has shot for such a masala song.

“I have never been seen in an avatar like this before. I loved my Kolhapuri look for Bijli. It was my dream to be choreographed by Ganesh master Ji, he has presented me and choreographed the dance for me in a way that will be very new for my audience.”

“I had a blast shooting for this song with Vicky, we rehearsed a lot before shooting it. There was infectious energy on set, everyone had their A-game on. Bijli is a full-on dance song, it is super catchy and will make you dance every time you hear it.”

Singer Mika Singh said he is happy to have sung this beautiful dance number. “It is always a pleasure to work on Sachin-Jigar’s composition. The song has a desi essence, and the tune is extremely catchy. A big thumbs-up to the entire music team who have created this song. Kiara and Vicky make it look more glamorous.”

“We hope that Bijli will be a favorite song in your playlist. Sticking to the theme, we have kept the Maharashtrian desi beats in the song. Neha Kakkar and Mika Singh have done a fabulous job with the vocals and Vicky and Kiara are super amazing. We thank Shashank for giving us the creative freedom to create Bijli. It is out now for the fans to show their love.” Director Shashank Khaitan called ‘Bijli’ the ultimate dance number.

“I am super excited that we are releasing Bijli as the first track from our film Govinda Naam Mera. This song is an ultimate dance number with unparalleled energy. The album has some great tracks that are coming your way very soon. I hope that Bijli gives you the right current to electrify your dance moves.”

Films are breaking language barriers, says ‘Kantara’ director Rishab Shetty

‘Kantara’ film director Rishab Shetty has said that films are now crossing the language barriers.

“If the content connects with the audience, the movie will be accepted as an all-Indian movie,” said Rishab Shetty, actor, director, and producer in Kannada.

‘Kantara’ directed by Rishab Shetty is his latest critically acclaimed film. On Thursday, he was speaking during a Masterclass at the International Film Festival of India on the topic of ‘Representing Cultural Diversity and Identifying New Markets’.

“Films today are crossing the language barrier. If the content connects with the audience the movie will be accepted as an All-Indian movie. I believed in the mantra that if a movie is more local and rooted, then it has a greater universal appeal,” he said.

Shetty said Kantara at its core captures the ongoing conflict between humans and nature. “It’s an amalgamation of nature, culture, and fiction. Our cultures and belief systems are rooted in every one of us. The movie was a result of the folklore I had heard and my experiences of childhood in the ‘Tulunadu’ culture. Hence, I wanted the background music of the movie to be naturally a beacon of the culture,” he said.

About the role of Shiva in Kantara, Shetty said he had a passion since childhood to play such a character.

“The idea of ‘Kantara’ was conceived during the second Covid lockdown and I shot the entire movie in my hometown Kundapura, Dakshina Kannada District in Karnataka,” he said.

Talking about his breathtaking performance in the climax of Kantara, he said the climax is imperative as that is what stays with people.

He added that the regional cinemas in the late 90s had influenced western movies. However, today they are incorporating local culture and diversity has given them the much-needed vibrancy and vividity which has been accepted by the audience.

Donal Bisht on challenges she faced while doing underwater stunts in ‘Tu Zakhm Hai’

Ex-‘Bigg Boss 15’ contestant Donal Bisht talks about how she prepared for her role and braved several injuries while shooting for the show ‘Tu Zakhm Hai’ starring Gashmeer Mahajani. She shares how she held her breath underwater despite the fact that she has a water phobia.

In the web series, ‘Tu Zakhm Hai’ she is playing the character of Kavya Grewal, who is a clinical psychologist. “She’s very soft from the outside but from inside she is like a hard nut. She’s very strong mentally and she helps out people through her mental abilities. She understands people and how she helps them to get out from the pain which these people are facing.”

Donal recalls doing a sequence underwater and says: “I needed to be within the water and maintain my breath. Since I am not a swimmer, I didn’t know how to hold my breath for this long. That was very tough for me and that too for many angles and many shots. However, I am an actor and I really love my job. That zeal possibly makes me able to do all that.”

The 28-year-old actress, who is known for her roles in ‘Ek Deewaana Tha’, and ‘Roop – Mard Ka Naya Swaroop’ shares how she performed all the stunts on her own without the body double.

She adds: “I did it without the body double and normally actors don’t do it if they don’t know certain things which are fair but I think I want to experience all forms of adventures in my life and want to do things on my own, so I took it and did it. And actors themselves doing it becomes easier for the director also or for the shows or film to take the shots.”

“I am very grateful to God and happy that my hard work is paying me off with all the love and appreciation I am getting from my audiences and receiving the awards for my performances in ‘Tu Zakhm Hai’ and it’s making me work harder and never let down my audiences. I can’t thank enough my fans for showering so much love on my character Kavya,” concludes Donal expressing her gratitude towards the audience for appreciating her character in the series.

She is making her Telugu debut with ‘Kumbhakarna’ which was earlier called ‘Dare To Sleep’. ‘Tu Zakhm Hai’ streams on MX Player.
