Vatsal Sheth, Ishita Dutta working on a music video

After shooting a short film “Kahaa Toh Tha” during the lockdown at home, actor Vatsal Sheth says he is working on a music video with his wife, actress Ishita Dutta.

Vatsal’s directorial debut “Kahaa Toh Tha” is a love story about a middle-class couple, and the changes that the COVID-19 pandemic brings in their lives.

“‘Kahaa Toh Tha’ just happened. We hadn’t planned. My friend Manoj, who is also the writer of the film, sent me a one-liner and we liked it. We attempted to make it. We shot the entire film at home using whatever we could. We didn’t have the professional stuff but today’s camera phones are excellent,” Vatsal said.

“They have great quality camera with good resolution. We shot the whole film on our phones. I transferred all the footage to a senior editor and I got Mehul Vyas to do the background score. We got the best of people to do colouring and we did justice with the project. There was no option but for me to direct it. We had to produce it as well so I launched Vatsal Sheth Productions. It was great fun,” he added.

Opening up about the experience, he said: “And we both had a lot of fun even though it was difficult. Placing the camera, come back and check and a lot of angles . We also have got great response. People can relate to it. We are very happy with the response we got. We tried and attempted to make something of our own from our houses and gave something to the audience to enjoy from their homes. We are very happy.

“I have turned director and I really enjoyed it. Now, Ishita and I are making a music video at home and it should be out soon,” he added.

Aahana Kumra on wearing prosthetics in ‘Betaal’

It was not easy for actress Aahana Kumra to get ready for her role in the recently released web show “Betaal”. She almost took 2 hours everyday to wear prosthetics before getting into her character’s look.

“When I signed the show, I didn’t know I’ll have a scar on my face and I’ll have to wear prosthetics for 45-odd days of shoot. I didn’t know until then what wearing prosthetics was like. Once the shoot started, I realised how careful an artiste needs to be while wearing prosthetics. Firstly, I couldn’t sweat. We were shooting in 45 degrees temperature and it was an army show. There was heat, dust and sometimes it would rain and there was thick mist. But I had to make sure that my make-up wasn’t spoilt, or else it would take another two hours to do it all over again. I learnt a lot on the job because of the prosthetic,” Aahana shared.

Aahana’s make-up was done by the renowned make-up artistes Rebecca Butterworth and Karolina Kuzniak.

She added: “It’s a lengthy process that requires a lot of patience. It would take sticking, painting and other things.

“The first day when I walked out of my vanity, everyone stopped and stared at me. It felt uncomfortable with people looking at your face in a way that something was wrong with it. But I got used to it. I don’t think that (her look) ever affect my performance. I was only focused on getting the shot right. It was very liberating, because for once, as an actress, I wasn’t worried about how I looked. When I saw the end result, I was blown. It’s rare that you see actresses sport a look like that. It’s been a great learning.”

“Betaal”, a zombie horror drama, is currently streaming on Netflix.

‘Mission – Impossible 7’ to resume shooting in September 2020

Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise’s “Mission: Impossible 7” will resume filming in September. The COVID-19 pandemic forced the team to relocate from Venice to the UK.

First assistant director Tommy Gormley said on Tuesday that Paramount is hoping to restart work on the film this autumn, and “visit all the countries” where they originally planned to film scenes, reports dailymail.co.uk.

During a recent interview, Gormley said: “We hope to start shooting again in September.

“We were days from shooting in Venice, we were right at the epicenter when it all kicked off, so we had to shut down in Venice where we were four or five days from shooting.

“We hope to visit all the countries we planned to and look to do a big chunk of it back in the UK on the backlot and in the studio, so September through to end April/May is our targets. We are convinced we can do this.”

Gormley went onto hint that “tens of thousands” of film industry staff needed to return to work, after almost all Hollywood films were put on hold as COVID-19 continued to spread.

He added: “We have to do it safely and protect our colleagues, but it is definitely possible and we’re working flat out to make it happen.”

“Mission: Impossible 7” will now release on November 19, 2021.

Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively stand up against racism

Hollywood couple Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively feel ashamed that they have allowed themselves to be “uninformed about deeply rooted systemic racism”.

Now, they are determined to address it and fight against it. As a start, they have donated $200,000 to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund as protests and riots continue across the US after the killing of unarmed Black man George Floyd by police, reports dailymail.co.uk.

Reynolds, 43, and Lively, 32, shared the news through a joint statement on their social media.

“We’ve never had to worry about preparing our kids for different rules of law or what might happen if we’re pulled over in the car. We don’t know what it’s like to experience that life day in and day out. We can’t imagine feeling that kind of fear and anger. We’re ashamed that in the past we’ve allowed ourselves to be uninformed about how deeply rooted systemic racism is,” they began.

The statement continued: “We’ve been teaching our children differently than the way our parents taught us. We want to educate ourselves about other people’s experiences and talk to our kids about everything, all of it… especially our own complicity.

“We talk about our bias, blindness and our own mistakes. We look back and see so many mistakes which have led us to deeply examine who we are and who we want to become. They’ve led us to huge avenues of education. We’re committed to raising our kids so they never grow up feeding this insane pattern and so they’ll do their best to never inflict pain on another being consciously or unconsciously.”

On why they decided to contribute the large sum of money to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, they explained: “That’s the least we can do to honour not just George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and Eric Garner, but all the black men and women who have been killed when the camera wasn’t rolling.”

Back in March, Reynolds and Lively donated $1 million to Feeding America and Food Banks Canada, as well as $400,000 to the hardest-hit hospitals in New York amid the coronavirus pandemic.
