Kusha Kapila Adds A New Feather To Her Cap As A Co-Producer For Vyarth
Vyarth follows the story of Bhumi, an underrated actress grappling with the monotony of conventional roles.
Kusha Kapila is donning the hat of a producer in an upcoming short film titled Vyarth, where she will also be playing the lead role. Ahead of the film's poster reveal, the project has been creating significant buzz among fans due to its premise.
Vyarth marks a notable shift in Kusha 's career. During an interview with IANS, Kusha opened up about the film and her experience as a co-producer. Talking about the film, Kusha said, 'Vyarth is more than just a film; it's a mirror reflecting the very real struggle against typecasting in our industry, a challenge central to Bhumi's (the film's lead character) journey."
Kusha also shared her experience of being a producer as she reflected on her career path. 'As an actor, you dive deep into your character's soul, but as a producer, you have to pull back and look at the entire picture. It is a powerful shift from 'How do I deliver this line?' to 'How do all these elements create impact?' Kusha said while adding, 'This journey from making funny videos in my room to acting in films and now co-producing feels like a natural evolution."
Vyarth follows the story of Bhumi, an underrated actress grappling with the monotony of conventional roles. However, things take a turn when her roommate Meenakshi asks for help with an audition that Bhumi was offered, a mother's role that she initially resents. The film delves into the themes of typecasting and creative limitations in the entertainment industry.
The film is directed by Pankaj Dayani, who is also the co-producer alongside Kusha. The story is penned by Fahim Irshad, and Romil Modi, popular for his involvement in Laapataa Ladies and All We Imagine As Light, becomes the casting director for Vyarth. Additionally, Swapnil S. Sonawale, known for his work in Monica, O My Darling, handles cinematography in this film. The film is set to release on July 19, on Kusha's YouTube channel.

Debina Bonnerjee shares glimpse of what her life is like these days
Mumbai: Actress Debina Bonnerjee, who is gearing up for her upcoming show 'Pati Patni Aur Panga', has showcased a glimpse of what her life is like these days. Debina took to Instagram, where she shared a picture of herself and alongside it, she gave a list of things that are keeping her busy. She wrote: 'Life Lately Shoot, Sleepless nights, Mommy duties, Dressing up & showing up, Tired? Yesss, Excited? Always, Grateful? Super Check.' Debina and her husband Gurmeet Chaudhary first got married in 2011 and then tied the knot again in 2021. They had their first child, a daughter, in April 2022, and their second daughter in November 2022. The two will be seen in the upcoming couple reality show, "Pati Patni Aur Panga" hosted by actress Sonali Bendre and comedian Munawar Faruqui. The show is all set to premiere on Colors TV on August 2, featuring a diverse mix of celebrity couples as contestants. The lineup includes Hina Khan and Rocky Jaiswal, Rubina Dilaik and Abhinav Shukla, Avika Gor and Milind Chandwani, Debina Bonnerjee and Gurmeet Choudhary, Sudesh Lehri and Mamta Lehri, Geeta Phogat and Pawan Kumar, along with Swara Bhasker and Fahad Ahmed. Debina and Gurmeet opened up to IANS about why they agreed to be part of the reality show 'Pati Patni Aur Panga.' Debina said: 'For me, the reason was that I don't usually get the chance to work with Gurmeet daily. Right now, Gurmeet is away from television, so at least we are together on this show, working with each other. That was the sole reason—we get to spend time together and have so much fun.' Gurmeet and his wife Debina Bonnerjee rose to prominence after portraying Rama and Sita in the 2009 television epic 'Ramayana'. He then participated in the reality show Pati Patni Aur Woh with his then fiancee, Debina. The actor then worked in shows such as 'Geet-Hui Sabse Parayi,' 'Punar Vivah', 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa', 'Nach Baliye 6,' 'Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi (season 5)'. Gurmeet's first film in Bollywood was in 2015 when he was cast as the character of Jaidev in the psychological thriller 'Khamoshiyan'.

Randeep Hooda on why every role feels like his first
Mumbai: Actor-filmmaker Randeep Hooda says acting is never easy as it always carries fear and uncertainty and added that each role is like starting from scratch. Talking about if acting is ever easy for him or does every role still bring a level of fear and uncertainty, Randeep told IANS: 'If you're not uncertain and you're not feeling like, oh my God, this time, I personally, this time they're going to discover that I don't know anything about acting. That is what keeps me on my toes and I really believe that. 'It's always as if I'm doing my first job.' Asked what he believes is more powerful – what the actor says or what the actor doesn't say, Randeep told IANS: 'Whatever you say are just your thoughts. And most of us try to hide our thoughts or don't completely say what we mean.' 'So it is the distance between those. I think speaking is the last form of any communication between two human beings.' On the big screen front, Randeep will next be seen in the epic war drama 'Operation Khukri' lined-up. Randeep has secured the official movie rights to 'Operation Khukri: The Untold Story of the Indian Army's Bravest Peacekeeping Mission Abroad' by Major General Rajpal Punia, and Damini Punia.

Matchbox is based on the toy brand of the same name, it also stars John Cena, Jessica Biel, Sam Richardson, Arturo Castro, Teyonah Parris, Randeep, Danai Gurira, and Corey Stoll.
