Actor Richa Chadha joins hands with Arati Kadav of Cargo fame for a sci-fi short film titled 55kms/sec shot virtually on phone.
Richa said, “Arati is an engineer turned filmmaker. She has an interesting vision and is aces at science fiction stuff as well as portraying the human connections. I loved collaborating with her and the actor Mrinal Dutt. This was a challenging shoot as we had to do everything ourselves, from hair and make up to recording sound but it was well worth the effort. I am happy that we were able to create something thought provoking and beautiful even in these grim times.”
‘Chess stretches your mind in terms of strategy and imagination because you really have to outwit your opponent at any cost. Playing chess with my dad is something that I have always loved doing because he’s the most unpredictable, intelligent and sharpest person I’ve ever played with.’

Orlando feels powerless
Actor Orlando Bloom is heartbroken because his dog Mighty is still missing, and says he feels powerless about the situation.
The actor took to Instagram to share an emotional post about his dog, who went missing last week in Montecito, California.
“I don't recall a time in my life where I've been so broken wide open. The rawness I have felt over these past few days and sleepless nights at the idea of my little man being lost and scared, with me unable to do anything to protect him, is a waking nightmare,” he wrote.
“I feel powerless... maybe like so many others who are losing loved ones,” added he.
