'He is not a method actor, but...': Priya Bapat reveals Nawazuddin Siddiqui's working style in Costao
Priya Bapat, a famous and known face in Marathi cinema, is making all the noise in the Hindi industry. Priya, who first appeared with a brief role in Munna Bhai M.B.B.S in Hindi cinema, has established herself as one of the renowned actors on OTT with shows like City of Dreams, Rafuchakkar, Raat Jawaan Hai, and more. Priya's recent project Costao has finally hit the OTT platform Zee5 Global. The actress is sharing the screen with the very versatile Nawazuddin Siddiqui. In a recent conversation with Priya opened up about her experience sharing the screen with Nawaz and how he is not a method actor but someone who has his own unique ways to work. When Priya was asked about her experience working with Nawazuddin Siddiqui and her learnings, the actress said, 'First of all, he is very cooperative. Not just that, he is extremely down to earth and humble. Maine ek bhi din Nawaz sir ko van mein baithe hue nahi dekha hai. Like, he would always come and sit with us on the set. He would rehearse multiple times, and then he would just do a marking rehearsal and go for a take, because he doesn't want to lose that naturality of the character and the scene. Also, he is very punctual. I haven't seen a day when Nawaz sir would get late.' Take a look here: While talking about her learnings, Priya mentioned that Nawaz is someone who likes to improvise a lot. He is not that actor who would learn the script. Instead, he will read it, improvise it, and go for a shot. The Rafuchakkar fame also opened up about Siddiqui not being a method actor. She said, 'As much as I have seen his work, I thought he would be a method actor. But I realised that he has a different process. His method process is unique and like I said, he is a very free-flowing kind of person. Aise nahi lagta ki yeh bohot pre-decide karke aaye hain .' She further added, 'He is just very free-flowing and he also improvises a lot. So he has his own unique beauty. And, I think this is a very nice quality as it gives you honesty on screen. You don't really decide and then react in front of the screen, instead it's way more natural.' Meanwhile, the screenplay of Costao has been crafted by Bhavesh Mandalia and Meghna Srivastava, while the film is jointly produced by Vinod Bhanushali, Kamlesh Bhanushali, Shyam Sunder, Faizuddin Siddiqui, Bhavesh Mandalia, and Sejal Shah, under the banners of Bhanushali Studios, Bombay Fables Motion Pictures, and Side Hero Entertainment.

Sanya Malhotra on unfair expectations from women in society
Actress Sanya Malhotra, who will be playing the role of an Indian housewife in her upcoming film Mrs, reflected on the disparities between men and women in society. Mrs is slated to release on the OTT platform Zee5 Global on February 7. It is directed by Arati Kadav. It narrates a tale of a talented dancer whose life takes a dramatic turn after she gets married into a male-dominated household. In interaction with ANI on Tuesday, Malhotra opened up about the nature of society which asks women to give up on their jobs after the birth of a child in a marriage. "From us women, there are a lot of expectations. It is very natural nowadays that a woman should leave a job after giving birth to a child. But the child is of both right? It's both the members' responsibility. A good balance is what we need. Our characters may not be able to do but there are many examples. People should learn from them," said Malhotra. Kadav also expressed her views, saying: "Why do women have to be homely and adjust and do those things while a man has to flourish after marriage because he has the support of the women? If a man gets a good girl, then his life blossoms. First mother takes care, then a wife should take care. Why this thinking?" Malhotra, who will be next seen in the family drama genre, has worked in movies such as Jawan, Dangal, Kathal, and Pagglait. The actress credits this achievement to her love for learning new things and a constant urge to challenge herself. "I don't like to put myself in a box. I have always taken bold steps. I love learning new things. I am actually very relaxed in life but when it comes to film I will be like I want to try everything," said Malhotra. The Dangal actress also hinted at her upcoming projects and said, "This year you will see me doing a variety of roles. In Sunny Sanskarai I am doing a role which I have never done before. I like challenging myself and it's important to keep challenging yourself."
