Mumbai, June 23 (IANS) Director Vinil Mathew has opened up about Taapsee Pannu and Vikrant Massey, the stars of his new film "Haseen Dillruba", saying they are stellar performers but have different approaches.
"Taapsee and Vikrant are stellar performers with different approaches. Vikrant has a background in theatre, hence he improvises a lot, enjoys rehearsals and attempts multiple takes where he keeps refining and tweaking his performance until he hits the perfect note," says Mathew.
"Taapsee, on the other hand, is a qualified engineer and perhaps that is why she has a methodical and precise approach to her preparation. She is extremely sharp and perceptive, and maps her character's layers and trajectory very early on. She then combines this with a lot of spontaneity and her first few takes are absolute gems," the filmmaker adds.
"Haseen Dillruba" is a mystery thriller set for OTT release. The film co-stars Harshvardhan Rane.
Last month, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has asked the makers of the film to change its title "Paagal" because of the "social stigma" attached to the word.
Actress Aamna Sharif replaces Hina Khan as the iconic antagonist Komolika in the reboot show of "Kasautii Zindagii Kay", and she admits there's a lot of pressure on her shoulders.
Singer-composer Salim Merchant was recently slammed by a Pakistani singer for copying his song. Salim says it's not his style to engage in a Twitter battle and that his body of work proves that he doesn't need to copy from another artiste's work.
Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt is gearing up to release yet another horror film, titled "Ghost", and he says the only time he feels scared is when his horror films don't work.
