It's a humbling to represent Bengal at TIFF: Riddhi Sen
Actor Riddhi Sen stars in Bandar (Monkey in a Cage) , Anurag Kashyap 's latest film inspired by real events and featuring Bobby Deol , Sanya Malhotra and Saba Azad. The film, recently announced as an official selection at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), brings together a diverse cast from across India. Riddhi speaks to Calcutta Times about working with Kashyap, sharing screen space with Deol, and why representing a diverse India on global platforms matters. "It's always a pleasure to work with someone whose work you've admired for so long" Riddhi Sen calls working with Anurag Kashyap a truly special - one that lived up to every expectation he had of the filmmaker. 'I've admired his work for a very long time, both as a filmmaker and as a person. It's a rare combination when you admire someone's art and who they are in real life,' he says. He further describes the sets of an Anurag Kashyap film as hierarchy-free and deeply collaborative. 'It was one of the most inclusive sets I've ever been on,' he adds. What stood out the most for Riddhi was Kashyap's openness and passion. 'He communicates with every actor and crew member without ego, and his dedication is like that of a first-time director. It was refreshing to see someone of his stature carry such an innocent hunger for discovery.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Learn More - How Watching Videos Can Boost Your Income TheDaddest Undo "Bobby came to set like an open sheet" Talking about his co-actors, Riddhi highlights the freedom to improvise, especially with Bobby Deol, with whom he shared several scenes. 'Anurag Kashyap's filmmaking style gives everyone the room to improvise. Bobby came to the set like a blank page every day, ready to be written on. Everything happened in the moment, and it was such a joy to collaborate with him, Sanya and Saba,' Riddhi says. Speaking about the script, Riddhi says it resonated with him deeply. 'It deals with a very human condition. Anurag doesn't present heroes or villains – he offers a vulnerable, palpable reflection of what it means to be human.' For Riddhi, the film's TIFF premiere is both a moment of pride and reflection. 'It's a humbling opportunity that I got. There are way better actors than me, so representing is a big word,' he says, adding, 'But it's a great thing when we get to showcase our work on an international platform like Toronto.' At the same time, he adds, the focus shouldn't always be about national or global representation from a Hindi film perspective. 'We are capable of doing it locally too, if we have enough support from our own industry." Quote blurb: 'I think this film is one of the biggest boundaries Bobby Deol has pushed so far. It's unlike anything people have seen him do before. And he's so humble in real life, it was inspiring to watch him surrender to the process' 'Anurag Kashyap's films never have a clear hero or villain. There's no black and white. He presents the vulnerable, complex condition of being human, and this story reflects that beautifully' 'What I loved about working in Bandar was the collaboration and respect. Anurag wasn't trying to represent a Hindi-dominated industry on the global stage, but show that every state has its own repertoire'

‘Great scripts don't reach A-list actors because of their managers', reveals Murderbaad director Arnab Chatterjee, laughs at Ibrahim Ali Khan's Nadaaniyan: ‘Choice of films can be better'
Over the past year, several filmmakers have voiced concerns about how talent agencies and managers are limiting access to A-list celebrities. Even acclaimed director Anurag Kashyap has criticized the growing layers within the Bollywood system. In a recent interview, 25-year-old filmmaker Arnab Chatterjee, who has written, produced, and directed Murderbaad, opened up about the industry's hierarchical structure. Arnab revealed that he was unable to cast any A-list actors in his film due to the intermediaries involved. He also spoke about his admiration for his favourite star kid, Ananya Panday. During a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, the director revealed that, as an outsider, he faced disrespect within the industry. 'When you come from outside, actors and producers don't consider you, they don't even sit with you. Kahaani sun lete hain, par mana hi karte hain. They have had their own ways of rejecting the script.' Arnab Chatterjee further shared that managers and agencies have created a barrier, leaving filmmakers with little to no direct access to A-list actors. Arnab said, 'I don't have that kind of an access. You can't reach out to them, they are hiding behind agencies who gatekeep. There are 12-15 managers under the agencies. If you reach the manager, they will suggest some other actor's name to cast. Around six months get wasted in this process. You don't even reach the star.' ALSO READ | Amit Sial reacts to Anurag Kashyap's comments about entourage costs: 'Big stars ignore 500 people like you daily' He added, 'It happened with me on Murderbaad as well. Gatekeeping becomes a problem. If those stars watch this film now, they won't even know it was offered to them. I approached certain actors in the past 4-5 years. Some said that I have no studio right now, while someone's manager said you should cast another actor.' Arnab Chatterjee even went to an actor's house directly with his script ready. 'He openly told me that I love your script, aap bhi kar loge, lekin bina studio ke toh hum nahi kar sakte. OTT mein kaafi experienced the, kaam acha hai unka. I got many congratulatory messages from actors for Murderbaad, but they don't even know it was offered to them. If I meet them, I'll surely tell this.' When asked which star kids he would cast if he ever got a chance, he replied, 'I think Ananya Panday, she is very talented. She has proved her haters pretty wrong. Only she can get a few experimental roles, I would love to work with her. Ibrahim Ali Khan as well, why not?' However, when the actor's film Nadaaniyan was mentioned in the conversation, he laughed and said, 'Sahi lagi mujhe, shayad. That's why I am saying, the choice of films of actors can be a bit better. I don't blame them, they require rebooting because of people around them.'
