New take on Devdas
Actor Richa Chadda has been exploring different mediums of filmmaking. She will see be seen in the contemporary adaptation of the Saratchandra Chattopadhhyay's classic Devdas.
Director Sudhir Mishra's upcoming film Daasdev follows a path contrary to the plot of the classic novel but is a fiercely political film that talks about the protagonist's addiction to power. The film features Richa Chadda as Paro, Aditi Rao Hydari as Chandramukhi and Rahul Bhat as Daasdev. Richa has shown her acting capabilities with versatile roles through different characters. Richa said, “It's an interesting adaptation. Sudhir Mishra has mentored so many filmmakers and directed some films that made me want to be an actor.”
‘Star Wars set is so massive’
Actor John Boyega, who will revisit his character of Finn in Star Wars: The last Jedi, says walking onto the sets of the upcoming film felt like visiting Disneyland. “The fundamental thing is unity on a set like this. It's so massive, so many ideas, so many challenges. It's good to have unity of cast and crew who believe in the same vision of making a great movie.”
“That's the fundamental goal, so if something goes wrong, there is a fixation on how to get around the obstacle. And that's something I enjoy on a Star Wars set,” he added. Asked about walking onto a set like this, he said: “Totally immersed. like a 12-year-old kid that goes to Disneyland, but its on level 10. That's what it's like but then you have to do your job because you are part of it.”
