"One of our finest actors took the scene elsewhere": Rahul Bose talks about the perils of on-set improvisation
New Delhi [India], June 24 (ANI): In a candid conversation about the complexities of filmmaking, actor Rahul Bose shared a behind-the-scenes moment where an actor's unscripted improvisation sent shockwaves through the set. Reflecting on his extensive career of over 55 films, the actor and filmmaker revealed his strong stance against improvisation during shooting, particularly when it disrupts the planned narrative. Bose, who believes in meticulous preparation and a methodical approach to roles, recounted an incident where one of India's finest actors decided to take the scene in a completely different direction, an act that ultimately left the director in a state of panic. 'I got onto the set and I found this guy was taking the scene somewhere else. So, I also went along with it,' Bose recalled. 'But finally, the director was panicked. He was like, 'Where is this going?' I said, 'What? He's taking it there?' So, I said, 'You tell him. Don't tell me,'' Bose said. The unscripted deviation proved to be too much to handle. The scene, which was shot off-script, never made it to the film's final cut. 'It was axed,' Bose revealed. Although Bose's background in theatre provides a natural home for improvisation, he is adamant that such moments should be confined to rehearsals, not the actual shoot. As he explained, 'Improv happens before the performance. Not when you're on stage. Improv happens before you get onto stage.' Bose emphasised that when filming, everything must be meticulously planned and executed. 'When you've called 'action', we've already decided what we're going to do together. We're not improvising, then. It's too expensive, too risky, and it compromises the integrity of the film,' Bose said. He elaborated on his discomfort with the idea of improvisation during production, saying that it would be akin to 'cutting my arm off' rather than adopting such a method. Bose's thoughts on improvisation also touched on the relationship between actors and directors. He noted that some directors have become known for flexible, evolving scripts, like 'Gangs of Wasseypur,' where characters and lines were developed on set. However, Bose was quick to distance himself from such practices. 'I honestly don't know what happened on Gangs of Wasseypur, but I would never do a film where you're improvising on the fly,' he said, suggesting a stark contrast between his own approach and the fluidity practised by certain filmmakers. Rahul Bose is a versatile Indian actor, director, and screenwriter known for his impactful performances in films like 'English, August,' 'Mr. and Mrs. Iyer,' 'Chain Kulii Ki Main Kulii' and 'Pyaar Ke Side Effects.' His latest work includes the Bengali web series 'Rekka' and the spy thriller film 'Berlin.' (ANI)

‘We did something that mattered': a bird rescue story melts hearts online
In a viral video, a man and his friend are seen rescuing a baby bird that had fallen into a roadside drain, while the distressed mother bird cries out for help. In the video, a bird—likely the baby's mother—is anxiously flying around a drain and crying loudly. The two men stop, remove the drain cover, and discover a small baby bird trapped below. Without hesitation, one of them enters the drain to retrieve the tiny creature. His friend then gently places the rescued bird near its mother. The video was shared on Instagram along with a heartfelt caption, 'While walking with a friend around 10 p.m., we heard a bird crying near a drain. At first, it just sounded like noise, but it didn't stop. Then the bird flew toward us and back to the drain, still crying. Something about the way it moved made me stop. It felt like it was trying to get our attention. 'We walked over and looked into the drain and there it was. A baby bird had fallen inside. For a moment, we didn't know what to do. Should we call 911? or Was it okay to lift the cover ourselves? But the cries kept going, and it didn't feel right to just walk away. 'So we took the risk. We lifted the cover and we reached down to pick up the baby bird. We set it down gently near its mother. She didn't fly off. She just stayed close to it. And something in the way she stood there quiet now, almost still felt like a kind of peace. Like she was saying thank you. 'In that moment, I felt something real. A mother's love is the same in every living thing loud, strong, and full of fight. And tonight, I'm just glad we listened. We did something that mattered, and it feels good. I'm proud of us.' The video has struck a chord online, amassing over 978 thousand likes and 120 thousand comments. Many users praised the compassion shown by the duo. Watch the video here: A post shared by Lukman O Nurudeen (@femidreamz) Another wrote, 'God bless you for helping that poor baby bird, that was very kind of you.' A third comment read, 'Not all heroes wear capes. That was awesome.'

Actor Viineet Kumar Siingh was stranded at the Dubai airport on Monday night amidst the precautionary closure of airspace in several parts of the Middle East (Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait) after Iran's missile strikes on US establishments. Scheduled to board at 9:40 PM, he arrived around 3:45 AM in Mumbai after the delay. Actor Viineet Kumar Siingh and wife-actor Ruchira Singh(Photos; Instagram) On reaching India, the Chhaava actor shared a post on his Instagram. Back home, his wife-actor Ruchira Singh had a sigh of relief after a stressful Monday night. She shared, 'He came early in the morning after being stranded for some time. We were continuously on call with him till they flew. I was continuously checking the flight status to get minute-by-minute information of his safe landing.' Instagram posts by Viineet Kumar Siingh(Photos: Instagram) Spelling out her fear, Ruchira said, 'When he told me about the situation, I panicked, especially after the turn of events. Nowadays, so much is happening around the world…so 'darr toh laga hi rehta hain.' On top of that, war situations, flight scenarios, and what not! It's sad. You might not be in a serious situation, but still, you do get anxious. I was very worried yesterday, but now everything is fine and I'm happy that he is home.' The actor said that her husband was in Dubai to address a global summit. 'His entire schedule was very tight, and then while returning, this happened. He was very tired, so the situation was surely exhausting.' On Monday night, Viineet posted: 'I am at Dubai Airport. 9:23 pm Dubai Time. Immigration done. Waiting at the gate for my flight (airplane emoji). Fingers crossed." After landing in Mumbai, Viineet told News18, 'We were clueless around 10 PM. Then we got the news that the boarding would start. The flight took off a little late, but everything is fine. Emirates Airlines and Dubai airport staff helped all.'
