Amyra Dastur joins Rajkummar Rao and Boman Irani in Made in China

Amyra Dastur, who has been extremely busy promoting her digital debut, Bindass’ The Trip 2, with co-stars Shweta Tripathi, Mallika Dua and Sapna Pabbi, has now shifted gear to Ahmedabad to commence shooting for her next film, Made in China. Amyra has joined her Mental Hai Kya co-star Rajkummar Rao with Boman Irani and Mouni Roy in Ahmedabad to shoot Mikhil Musale’s directorial venture. The film is produced under the banner of Dinesh Vijan whose film Stree has recently crossed the 150 crores mark at the box office.

Although the details of her character have been kept under wraps, she has a very pivotal role in the film. A major portion of the film is slated to be shot in China as well. This will be the first time Amyra is dabbling in light hearted comedy. When asked about her latest stint, the gorgeous actress replied, “I’m really excited to work with Maddock Films, their scripts are content driven and manage to give out a social message in a quirky way. Getting a chance to work with Rajkummar Rao again and now Boman Irani is truly a privilege. They’re amazing actors and it’ll be interesting to learn more from them, especially in a comedic space. This is going to be a fun movie and experience to be a part of.”

Amyra is carving her niche in Bollywood having already signed onto major productions like the Rajkummar and Kangana Ranaut starrer, as well as the Sanjay Dutt produced magnum opus, Prassthanam, opposite Ali Fazal. She also has a film, Leena Yadav’s Rajma Chawal, starring Rishi Kapoor and debutant Anirudh Tanwar, slated for release.

Amyra supports young gymnasts pursue their dreams

Amyra Dastur is currently shooting for her film, Mental Hai Kya with Rajkummar Rao and Kangana Ranaut. Between her films and ad shoots, the actress takes time out to learn gymnastics as well. She started learning gymnastics over this last year and has already aced many techniques in the sport.

Ever since Amyra has learnt the sport, she has been wanting to take the sport forward and help in some way or another. Recently her gymnastics coach told her of a few young girls who were all gymnasts but needed help and support of some kind to participate in competitions and have the right kind of gear for practice. Amyra thought this was the best opportunity to help the young girls and did so by supporting and promoting them become better gymnasts. When asked about it the Rajma Chawal actress said, “I do consider myself someone who is more partial to girls and helping them achieve their dreams and break certain stereotypes. When I found out that there were 4 girls, aged between 10-14, who wanted to take up Gymnastics but didn’t have enough financial support to pay for the entire coaching sessions and the appropriate gear required, I requested my coach to please give them the proper training required and anything else they’d need and I would compensate him on their behalf. My coach (Umesh Hasolkar) has been teaching me since 2016 and he’s proud of how far I’ve reached. His older daughter (about 20) also joins our class and helps me with my flexibility training. Even he wants to see women taking up gymnastics and proving that it isn’t a male sport. He was kind enough to even give me a small discount for their fees and equipment required but I’ll more than happy to keep providing for these girls in this aspect, for however long they decide to keep pursuing the sport.”

We love the selflessness and pay it forward attitude Amyra takes always and hope the athletes someday go on to representing the country.

Amyra gets hurt on the sets of Mental Hai Kya

Amyra Dastur has had a busy few months and is also currently acting with Rajkummar Rao and Kangana Ranaut in Mental Hai Kya for which she has begun shooting recently.

The actress who is extremely dedicated to her craft had a little incident on the sets while shooting with co-actor Rajkummar Rao. Amyra and Rajkummar where shooting their scene near some bricks in a studio. 

They had practised the scene a few times but when the director said, ‘action’ she tripped on something and fell directly on the bricks and hurt both knees which began bleeding. 

After cleaning the wound, the actor who was still in pain decided to finish all her scenes before heading to the hospital to get tetanus shot.

During her scenes, Rajkummar joked about putting a mattress underneath in case she fell again but as they understood her plight they completed the shoot early. 

When asked about her whole fall, Amyra said, “I wanted to use the pain and discomfort in my scene because I knew it would definitely better my performance. 

Rajkummar asked setting to lay mattresses down in case I would fall again. My director Prakash changed the schedule and made me finish off all my scenes as soon as possible so I could leave early and go straight to the hospital.

This is definitely one set where I’ve been treated so kindly and where people truly take care of one and other.
