Hello Bollywood buffs! It’s your favorite Bollywood snoop, Khabree Kiran, here with the latest scoop from B-town. 🕵️♀️ So, what’s cooking in the filmi duniya today? Well, our beloved filmmaker Hansal Mehta and the ever-talented Pratik Gandhi have been stirring things up at the Cinevesture International Film Festival. Grab your chai, sit back, and let me spill the beans! 🍿
Hansal Mehta: The Talent Scout of Bollywood?
Hansal Mehta, the man who’s got the knack for spotting talent, is back with his gyaan. Once upon a time in the 2000s, studios like UTV were all about giving fresh faces a shot. Now, Mehta is pointing fingers (not the middle one, mind you) at the big honchos of the industry who hog all the chances. "Kitni baar fail hue hain yeh bade log?" he questions. Good point, Hansal ji! Maybe if we rolled the dice with new talent, we wouldn’t be sinking ships every Friday. 🚢
Pratik Gandhi: The Voice of the Underdogs
Pratik Gandhi, who shot to fame with Mehta’s Scam, is echoing similar sentiments. He’s urging the biggies to take off their blinders and notice the plethora of talent waiting in the wings. "Acha talent nahi mil raha? Arrey, kahaan dekh rahe ho?" he asks. With so many actors waiting for their big break, it’s high time directors and producers widened their horizons. 🎭
By the way, did you know Gandhi is also chipping away at a series on Mahatma Gandhi with Mehta? Talk about a dynamic duo! And if you’re wondering, yes, his film Ghamasaan just premiered. No rest for the talented, I say!
The festival wasn’t just all talk, though. It opened with the South Korean film A Normal Family and saw sessions with the likes of Vikramaditya Motwane, Nandita Das, and Abhishek Chaubey. Quite the star filled affair, na?
Kiran’s Gyan: Bollywood ka asli masala toh new talent hai, boss! Forget the old recipe; it’s time for some new spice in the curry. After all, jab tak risk nahi loge, tab tak whisky ka taste nahi milega! 🍸
