Vidhu Vinod Chopra's documentary 'Zero Se Restart' starts streaming
A popular streaming platform on Wednesday announced the premiere of "Zero Se Restart", a behind-the-scenes documentary on the making of the acclaimed film "12th Fail", directed and produced by
Vidhu Vinod Chopra
.
Edited and directed by Jaskunwar Singh Kohli, the documentary is now streaming in India and over 200 countries and territories worldwide on Prime Video, a press release said.
"Zero Se Restart" takes viewers deep into the filmmaking process, offering a candid look at the emotional and creative journey behind "12th Fail", which featured Vikrant Massey and Medha Shankr in the lead roles and emerged as a box office success in October 2023.
The movie was based on author Anurag Pathak's bestselling novel that chronicled the journey of IPS officer Manoj Kumar Sharma and IRS officer Shraddha Joshi.
The documentary highlights the challenges, triumphs, and the intense commitment of the cast and crew as they brought the inspiring story to life.
"'Zero Se Restart' may initially seem like a behind-the-scenes documentary - and it certainly is. But when viewed, I hope a more powerful story emerges.
I had little idea how to film '12th Fail' when I started - and yet, here it is," said Chopra.
"A celebration of courage embedded in all artistic processes. It's a perfect example that grit, grace and growth all come when you allow yourself to restart," he added.
Director Jaskunwar Singh Kohli said the documentary was culled from over 18,000 minutes of raw footage shot over three years.
"For any aspiring filmmakers out there, 'Zero Se Restart' is a treat - a one-stop destination to learn from the hilarious and brilliant VVC himself.
I'm thrilled that now, thanks to Prime Video, we can finally share it with the world," Kohli said.
Massey said revisiting the experience through the documentary was emotional.
"'Zero Se Restart' brought back the fear, the fire, and the faith. We shot in unpredictable locations, chasing moments with no safety net. Watching Mr. Chopra lead a young crew - armed with endless rewrites and no takers for the story at first - was truly inspiring. I hope this documentary inspires others to chase their dreams," he said. PTI

However, the ongoing nature of the harassment, including vile comments directed at Supriya's late father, pushed her to finally speak up. 'Even this filtered face cannot hide the hatred she has inside,' Supriya said while sharing a photo of the woman using an Instagram filter. 'Her main occupation seems to be posting abusive comments under every account that posts something about me.'
