The story of Yolk is unique and interesting: Neeraj Malviya

Actor Neeraj Malviya, who is part of First Kut Productions’ short film Yolk, says that he was attracted to the concept of the film. The actor has been part of television shows and says that he found the story of the Ansh Mehta directorial interesting. “I have been doing television for a long time, so I wanted to do something different. I wanted to do something artistic as I have a theatre background. So when I met Ansh and he told me the story, I found it very unique and interesting. Our sensibilities match we even had discussions as to how to go about it,” he says.

He is looking forward to the film going live this Friday. “I am very happy that I got to work in this film, with Ansh, and I am excited to see it. It is a very nice project,” he says.

Neeraj, who is playing the lead in the film, says that he loves the title. “I like the title, it is very symbolic, there is a very deep thought behind it,” he says.

This is not Neeraj’s first association with producer Rajan Shahi. “I have worked with Rajan sir before. He called me himself and it was great as usual. There is so much to learn from him,” he says.

The actor feels that the Internet is a great medium to showcase the talent of those who are struggling to make it in films. “I am really happy about this trend of short films on the internet. The web has become big and everyone can be part of it. The film industry has its own limitations and everyone cannot reach till there. Whereas, the internet has its reach everywhere. People can easily access anything anywhere on the internet. With these short films, everyone gets a chance to showcase their creativity,” he says. The short film will go live this friday.

Apoorva Lakhia: ‘I was approached to make a film on Dawood but destiny had other plans and I ended up making ‘Haseena Parkar’

Apoorva Lakhia, who is known for his slick thrillers, is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film ‘Haseena Parkar’, which is based on the life of dreaded don Dawood Ibrahim’s sister Haseena and Apoorva has an interesting story about how this project came to be. 

In a candid chat, Lakhia admitted, “I was actually approached to make a film on Dawood, which I refused as there have been so many films based on him. But the makers told me that people don’t know much about Dawood’s younger days and this intrigued me so I agreed to meet his family members to get to know more about him.” 

Apoorva added that this was when he met Haseena and her story fascinated him a lot. “Haseena was this innocent girl from a crime family and what she went through because of her family background, fascinated me a lot and I proposed that we make a film on her instead. Though she was initially reluctant, we finally managed to persuade her to share her story with us and the rest is history.” 

Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, Haseena Parkar stars Shraddha Kapoor, Siddhanth Kapoor and Ankur Bhatia. Produced by Nahid Khan with Swiss Entertainment and co-produced by Sameer Antulay and Babu Tyagi, the film is set to release on September 22.
