After garnering immense love for her breakthrough
performance in recently released Zee5 film Posham Pa and Article 15 actor
Sayani Gupta is all set for the World Premiere of her next film Axone at 63rd
BFI London Film Festival 2019 which will be followed by the Asia Premiere at
MAMI 2019.
Axone- a bittersweet comedy satire follows
immigrants in Delhi who are attempting to organise a wedding party but soon
find everything going wrong. Written and Directed by Nicholas Kharkongor, the
film stars Sayani Gupta, Lin Laishram, Tenzin Dalha, Vinay Pathak, Dolly
Ahluwalia, in lead roles.
Sources shares, "This will be the first time
that Sayani will be seen portraying the role of a Nepali girl in the film. One
of the difficult things about this character was to adapt the Nepali accent and
language and Sayani left no stones unturned to get it right."
Sharing her excitement Sayani Gupta said, "It
is super exciting to have Axone premiering at two of BFI and Mami. I have a long
association of premiers at both these prestigious film festivals and feels like
Homecoming. Axone is a very special film and talks about inclusivity. It's
about a group of Northerner kids in Delhi who are trying to cook a special dish
with Axone for their friend's wedding and are faces with bizarre hilarious
ironical situations over the course of one day. It was particularly wonderful
to collaborate with such amazing actors and creative people from the North-East
part of India and also discover the enormously varied delectable cuisine. Naga
food has become my favourite! Playing a Nepali girl from Manipur was
challenging because I had to get the accent, body language, tonality
correctly. I knew people would be looking
at me with extra care and I had to do justice to the authenticity of the part.
I have very close friends who speak Nepali and I had to justice to them as
well. I was super nervous but also worked extra hard to be as authentic tic as
possible. Also, my friends Cephas and my hairdresser Marya were my Nepali
coaches. It's a film that Nicholas made
with a great deal of love and honesty and we hope it reaches put to everyone
and people from the Northern part of our country who are never really
represented in our popular medium and cinema, get to watch it!"
'Axone' will be showcased under the 'Laugh' strand
of the BFI London Film festival and will
be showcased under the Indian Story section at MAMI 2019.
