<p>Abhishek Kapoor who has earlier fashioned &nbsp;'Rock On!!!', 'Kai Po Che', 'Fitoor' and 'Kedarnath' is back with his latest 'Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui' which many consider his best work to date. In a freewheeling interview with Subhash &nbsp;K Jha, Abhishek sheds light on the genesis of his unusual transgender romance and its implicit ramifications.</p>

<p><strong>How and when did the idea of 'Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui'(CKA) come to you?</strong></p>

<p>The germ of the story emerged from a chance meeting with this lady Simran Sahni. She's a mother to two beautiful twin daughters, both of whom have undergone gender reassignment surgeries. The brief chat I had with her about the subject somehow stayed with me and I kept going back to it now and then. Post 'Kedarnath', that process of incubation seemed to have culminated into the conception of a love story and along with my writers Supratik and Tushar, we began deep-diving into this world.</p>

<p><strong>It is an audacious unconventional subject on gender reassignment. Didn’t you fear going into a territory never gone into before mainstream Hindi cinema?</strong></p>

<p>It's always exciting to push your boundaries as a filmmaker and outdo yourself each time. One shouldn't let the reductive shackles of what we regard as 'mainstream cinema' constrain or dilute one's creative voice. I want to go all out with every film I make and make the most of that opportunity.</p>

<p><strong>CKA marks a bold departure not only for Hindi cinema but also for you..your last film was about a pilgrimage spot...this is quite a distance from that one. Was it difficult covering that distance?</strong></p>

<p>In all my films I've refrained from adapting myself to a certain mould and developing a comfort zone for myself. Looking back at the modest work I've done so far, I'm glad I could explore the vividly rich Indian diaspora and delve into such distinct worlds and characters. So transitioning from one film to the next is something that's always been in my DNA as a filmmaker.</p>

<p><strong>Ayushmann Khurrana and Vaani Kapoor are pitch-perfect in their parts. How on earth did you convince them to take on their bold roles specially &nbsp;Vaani, what magic did you use to convince her?</strong></p>

<p>Both Ayushmann and Vaani are actors who are thoroughly dedicated to their craft. It was fascinating to see them explore the finer nuances of the characters and express that which is concealed between the lines. Vaani is like an enigma waiting to be explored and she certainly saw an opportunity with this story to tap into her boundless potential as an actor. Kudos to her for embracing such a challenging part with such poise.</p>

<p><strong>Everything is just right in CKA. Were you aware that the chemical balance of the storytelling was going to be so right?</strong></p>

<p>Thanks a lot for saying that. We had spent over two years working on this script. We took several routes with the story and tried to set the premise in different backdrops before we landed up with the present one. But over this course of experimentation, we grew increasingly convinced about the desired treatment and appeal that this story demands. Perhaps, it was this insight that helped us pepper the screenplay with measured elements of romance, humour, drama, and the central theme. Like every other story, this too involved a long process of trial-and-error until it felt just right.</p>

<p><strong>The response of the &nbsp;LGBTQ community to your film is crucial. What are your thoughts on this?</strong></p>

<p>Most certainly. More than anything else, it's a story that's bound to resonate with the unheard, discriminated voices who are a victim of the biases ingrained in our society. Besides being a love story, it's a film that attempts to destigmatize a regressive taboo and acceptance from the communities would be truly validating.</p>

<p><strong>Tell me about your next project?</strong></p>

<p>I've been developing a couple of projects simultaneously but am still in the process of figuring the one that goes on the floor the next. Besides directing, as a production house we are also focussing on developing content for the OTT platforms and getting other directors on board who share the same passion for clutter-breaking storytelling.</p>

<p><strong>You took a leap of faith in making this wonderful film. Any fear of falling, failing? Do you feel Hindi mainstream cinema needs to take such a leap more often?</strong></p>

<p>I think the conviction and firm belief I had about this story superseded any doubts and hesitations. Trans characters have always been reduced to become the butt of all jokes in films and it was high time that we saw them in a new light. Nothing will make me happier than encouraging conversations about the subject through the film. People love watching good stories and as filmmakers, it's on us to leave them with something they can take home with them.</p>

Abhishek Kapoor on 'Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui': High time we saw trans community in new light

<p>Over the years, Ayushmann Khurrana has consistently taken up projects that are message-driven and entertaining. Khurrana, with his films, has in a short span become one of the few actors whose films do well at the box office without adhering to any formula. So when Khurrana announces a new film, expectations are bound to be high. His latest 'Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui' directed by ace filmmaker Abhishek Kapoor manages to meet expectations to a great extent.&nbsp;</p>

<p><em><strong>*this review may contain spoilers</strong></em><br />
<br />
He is a brawny, alpha man with bulging biceps. She is&nbsp;pretty with a figure to die for. They both work in a gym.&nbsp;Physical attraction is obvious. So when Manu Munjal(Khurrana)&nbsp;- a Chandigarh boy who pumps iron for a living falls for the pretty, attractive Maanvi Brar(Vaani Kapoor)- sparks fly and leads to a lot of sex. His overbearing parents urge him to get married to her as she is the sophisticated 'Sector 4' type (a posh area in Chandigarh) and he is almost convinced that she is the one until a deep dark secret of Maanvi's comes tumbling out and things turn haywire.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Kapoor's film uses ample humour and a certain amount of stereotypes to deal with the core plot which revolves around a transwoman and cis man. So words like '<em>Chhakka</em>' (Hindi for eunuchs), <em>mardo wali shakal</em> (a woman with a face like a man), <em>paagalon ka doctor(</em> for psychiatrist) is used by the characters amply throughout the film. They may make you cringe but it is to drive home the point of how society remains oblivious and insensitive to issues like gender fluidity or mental health.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Manu's reactions initially are insensitive and disgusting when he finds out about Maanvi's past but also very relatable. So is Maanvi's initial hesitation to go on a date with Manu. The beauty of 'Chandigarh Kare Ashiqui' lies in its writing by Kapoor, Tushar Paranjape&nbsp;and Supratik Sen who also doubles up as the screenplay writer. The humour is the little detailings, the poignancy of a matter as sensitive as gender fluidity is in how the characters and their backgrounds unravelled. In hero is of course an alpha male but in reality, a softie who is bullied by his two sisters at home. The stronger one is the woman or trans girl as we soon get to know, who despite appearing shy and vulnerable in the beginning turns out to be a person with more grit and personality.&nbsp;</p>

<br />
Kapoor's casting is perfect. Khurrana- who is from Chandigarh- plays the brawny, slightly dumb, slightly naive Manu with ease. With bulging biceps and a ponytail high up, Manu is your typical <em>desi munda</em> who wants everyone to believe he is a toughie - just to hide his inner vulnerabilities, his ignorance about worldly affairs. He knows that he needs to ask her out on a date, but doesn't wait for her to order and promptly starts eating before she can even pick her food because he is on intermittent fasting. He is that insensitive and takes him a while to come around and understand what he is got himself into.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Vaani Kapoor plays the underdog in an Ayushmann Khurrana film where it's always easy to get overshadowed by the actor's talent. But Kapoor is astoundingly fresh and shows spark in her portrayal of the well-turned town, hot (if I may add) Maanvi. She is strong, she is gone through a lot of pain but is still ready to take on the world head on. She matches Ayushmann in every scene - making it evident that when she is given a well-etched out role, she knows how to deliver. Her portrayal of Maanvi almost reminds you of her bright, refreshing debut in 'Shuddh Desi Romance'.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
It's tricky for a Bollywood mainstream film to talk about gender fluidity and the trans community without offending anyone and without sounding too preachy. Kapoor, with the help of his writers, envelops the topic in hand, in a rom-com with ample situational comedy, quirky characters and of course crude language. But it helps to drive home the point.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
I also particularly liked the way the maker educates the audience about transgenders and sex reassignment procedures by including actual snippets of real transgender activists&nbsp;and personalities talking about their experiences. Those portions are so well made- with Manu, who know is at crossroads with this relationship with Maanvi, making the effort to read up to understand what the issue is.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The only problem with the film is that it is predictable. You know how it will end and it takes a lot of time to concentrate on the man and his transformation as a noble, well-rounded, aware personality who remains the prime focus in the relationship, attempting to win a sports championship with his girl cheering him by the side.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Should you watch 'Chandigarh Kare Ashiqui'? Yes! It may try to blanket an important issue under a romantic-comedy genre, but it at least attempts to push the boundaries in Bollywood which is mostly tone-deaf about such topics. It takes the help of comedy and stereotypes but still manages to drive home an important point- that love is love. Irrespective of gender.&nbsp;</p>

Abhishek Kapoor ropes in Ayushmann Khurrana for his next

<p>An old video has resurfaced which has Sara Ali Khan praising late actor Sushant Singh Rajput for helping her during the shooting of their film 'Kedarnath'.<br />
<br />
In the video, Sushant can be seen sitting next to Sara as she says, “I don’t know how I’ve done in the film. I’ve really, really tried my best. But I don’t think I would’ve been able to do any of it without Sushant. He has just been the most helpful person to have had. There were days when I was a little lost, I was a little scared, but he was just always hands-on. Whatever broken Hindi I speak, Sushant has taught me." The video is from the time when the two actors were promoting the film prior to release.</p>

Sara’s father, Saif Ali Khan, in an interview to a daily said that Sara was shocked and ‘very, very, very upset’ by the news of Sushant’s death. “She liked him very much.

An old video has resurfaced which has Sara Ali Khan praising late actor Sushant Singh Rajput for helping her during the shooting of their film 'Kedarnath'. In the video, Sushant can be seen sitting next to Sara as she says, “I don’t know how I’ve done in the film. I’ve really, really tried my best. But I don’t think I would’ve been able to do any of it without Sushant. He has just been the most helpful person to have had. There were days when I was a little lost, I was a little scared, but he was just always hands-on. Whatever broken Hindi I speak, Sushant has taught me." The video is from the time when the two actors were promoting the film prior to release. View this post on Instagram Sara has always respected Sushant🥺 Don’t miss this..

Late actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s close friend and ‘Kedarnath’ director Abhisek Kapoor and his wife Pragya have announced charity to honour him. Abhishek and Pragya will be feeding 3400 impoverished families.

Late actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s close friend and ‘Kedarnath’ director Abhisek Kapoor and his wife Pragya have announced charity to honour him. Abhishek and Pragya will be feeding 3400 impoverished families. In a statement, they said, "It's our way of honouring him and his craft, everything he has done and achieved, to celebrate him and everything he stands for. As friends it gives us something to hold on to.” Abhishek and Sushant go a long way as he had even directed the latter’s debut film, ‘Kai Po Che’’ that was released in 2013. They reunited for ‘Kedarnath’ in 2018. Sushant Singh Rajput lost 7 films in 6 months, says politician Sanjay Nirupam Abhishek and Pragya were spotted at Sushant's funeral ceremony along with Kriti Sanon, Vivek Oberoi and others. Earlier, Abhishek had taken to social media and written a tribute for him: "I am shocked and deeply saddened by the loss of my friend. We made two very special films together. He was a generous and fabulous actor, who worked very hard to breathe life into his characters. I pray for his family, whose loss is unmeasurable. He was a huge Science buff and what consumed by what lay beyond in the universe. I'm going to miss you brother. Stay interstellar."

Sushant Singh Rajput's debut director Abhishek Kapoor to make charity in his honour

Who doesn't like to watch a story of two-star-crossed lover unfold on the big screen? The story may be predictable, it may have a tragic ending and one may cry buckets watching the tragic love story, but let's admit it- there is a certain appeal to good old passionate love stories- they never get too old.

Who doesn't like to watch a story of two-star-crossed lover unfold on the big screen? The story may be predictable, it may have a tragic ending and one may cry buckets watching the tragic love story, but let's admit it- there is a certain appeal to good old passionate love stories- they never get too old. Filmmaker Abhishek Kapoor's latest 'Kedarnath' ticks all boxes that make for a classic love story. And it does serve an endearing story to a great extent. Set in the backdrop of the 2013 Uttarakhand floods that devastated the state, the film is a story of a feisty Brahmin girl Mukku (Sara Ali Khan) and a do-gooder pitthu Mansoor(Sushant Singh Rajput) who not only have to fight societal norms and prejudices but also nature's fury in order to be together. The first half is breezy. A rebel, Mukku has a difficult relationship with her family, is constantly angry at her father (Nitish Bhardwaj) and wants to put her fiance (Nishant Dahiya) down in whichever way possible. She lures suitors to her doorstep every now and then, fights with her sister (Pooja Gor) and cusses freely while watching cricket matches. In contrast, Mansoor is a mellowed man who believes in doing good for everyone. With his charm and kindness, he makes even the staunch pilgrims who visit Kedarnath his admirers. He talks less and is initially reluctant to befriend the talkative Mukku because he is aware of the differences between them much to the girl's disappointment. But the two come close as they confess their inner fears to each other. Only to be separated by the staunch fiance who feels 'they' (read Muslims) anyway do not belong to the holy town of Kedarnath.

The rains and the eventual floods serve as a metaphor to the havoc that it brings to Mukku and Mansoor's life and the town at large. The movie slips in the second half for a bit when a hasty (unnecessary) wedding takes place, the girl attempts to slash her wrist and the boy's community is asked to leave the town without any valid reason. There is also no proper explanation given as to why Mukku is forced to get engaged to the man who is rude and a bully. But the writers, Kapoor himself and Kanika Dhillon, neatly gather the scattered story in the last 20 minutes when the floods and the devastation takes over the story taking to a grand climax. If your attention gets diverted at the beginning of second half, and you predict what's in store, the filmmaker forces you to sit up and pay attention the flood scenes which have brilliantly been put together all thanks to the superb VFX with some breathtaking camera work by Tushar Kanti Ray. Depicting natural disaster on the big screen is never easy as it needs to look authentic, believable and make the audience shiver in fear. And 'Kedarnath' manages to do that. The scenes where floods wash out the hilly town and subsequently washes away the 100 years old temple are captivating, tragic and yet picturesque. It also beautifully highlights that the man-made rules and boundaries stand nothing when nature wants to have its own way. All are equal, be it an upper caste Hindu or a poor Muslim Pitthu boy. The film serves Khan the perfect launchpad and the girl doesn't disappoint. She has a captivating screen presence, looks stunning, emotes well and holds her own throughout. It helps that her character is full of spunk, much like her real persona. Ably supporting Khan is Sushant Singh Rajput, who delivers a restraint yet an endearing performance. He is the antidote to her feisty nature and Rajput emotes through eyes mostly making Mansoor very likeable. The lead pair is fresh and shares a crackling chemistry- perfect for such a story. Other notable mentions are Nitish Bhardwaj, who brings in his effervescent charm, as usual, Pooja Gor who plays the difficult, angst-ridden elder sister and Dahiya, who plays the right-winger, shrewd fiance with great ease.

Trivedi's tunes and Bhattacharya's words take the story forward and blend well with the scenic beauty around. All the songs are very soothing and beautiful. If 'Kedarnath' suffers, it is only because of over -dramatisation of certain scenes and a predictable story of star-crossed lovers. You know how the story will pan out but I'd still say it is worth a watch. For its music, its visuals and its actors. The story may not leave a lasting impression, but its visuals and Sara Ali Khan will surely do.

<p>The film, essentially a love story of a wealthy Hindu girl and a Muslim guide, is set against the backdrop of the tragic 2013- Uttarakhand floods. A few Hindu outfits were of the view that the film motivates 'Love Jihad'and also hurts Hindu sentiments, owing to which multiple PILS were filed across the country.</p>

<p>While there has been no official ban on the film by the state government, it wrote to all district magistrates about the film and the controversies surrounding it.</p>

Its an attempt to bring peace, harmony and healing to the people of this country. Pls dont deprive us of this opportunity. @tsrawatbjp @RonnieScrewvala — Abhishek Kapoor (@Abhishekapoor) December 8, 2018 × The film, essentially a love story of a wealthy Hindu girl and a Muslim guide, is set against the backdrop of the tragic 2013- Uttarakhand floods. A few Hindu outfits were of the view that the film motivates 'Love Jihad'and also hurts Hindu sentiments, owing to which multiple PILS were filed across the country. While there has been no official ban on the film by the state government, it wrote to all district magistrates about the film and the controversies surrounding it. ''It is very upsetting. How can they do this? When the government has cleared it, the whole country is watching it, how can they stop my film? Uttarakhand is an integral part of the country. What happens to my freedom of expression?'' said Kapoor to a news agency. Sara too, opened up about the controversies surrounding the film in an interview with a daily and shared that while it makes her upset, she wishes people see the film in the same light she sees it in.

'Kedarnath' director Abhishek Kapoor urges Uttarakhand government to lift ban on the film

<p>Sara Ali Khan, whose debut film 'Kedarnath' has been banned in Uttarakhand, is "disheartened" by the move and says the idea behind the film is "not to divide but unite people".<br />
<br />
The film, set against the backdrop of the natural tragedy in the temple town of Kedarnath, is a love story of a Hindu girl (Sara) and a Muslim porter (Sushant Singh Raput). Those seeking ban on the film have accused it of hurting Hindu sentiments and promoting love jihad. <a href="http://www.wionews.com/entertainment/kedarnath-review-sara-ali-khan-sushant-singh-rajput-are-impressive-in-this-visually-stunning-film-182004">Read 'Kedarnath' review here.&nbsp;</a><br />

<br />
"I don't consider ethnicity, religion, caste as markers and consider them as divisive. I don't think the film does either. The film is not about dividing you, it rather calls for coming together. I don't know how people are feeling hurt. I don't think they have seen the film."<br />
<br />
Sara, however, said she respects the concerns and as an actor all she can do is give her 100 per cent to the film.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"I have to respect that thought process as well. As an actor none of this in my hands. The only thing that is in my hands is to perform the given role, which I have done to my best. There is an element of regret that I can't share it (the film) with people who have shared their lives with me," she said.<br />
<br />
The film, directed by Abhishek Kapoor, released on December 7. It made Rs 7.25 crore on day one. Sara's work in the film has been appreciated and the 23-year-old said she has read almost all the reviews and is happy that people have been kind to her."You can't distinguish me from 'Kedarnath'. But if people say 'Kedarnath' is waahiyad (pathetic) I would not be happy as it is my first film."<br />
<br />
Growing up with actor parents, Amrita Singh and Saif Ali Khan, Sara witnessed success and failure from close quarters, which helped her learn that both need to be taken with a pinch of salt.&nbsp;<br />

"Every Friday is going to be different and this Friday has been very good for me, I deserve to celebrate that. I deserve to smile and be happy. I also need to understand that the next Friday might be different.<br />

"I have to stay grounded and be real and continue doing my best. The reviews, opinions, comments will keep coming and going, I have to do my best." Sara's next release is 'Simmba' opposite Ranveer Singh. The film, directed by Rohit Shetty, will hit the theatres on December 28.&nbsp;</p>

Sara Ali Khan on ban on 'Kedarnath' in Uttarakhand: Film is not about dividing you, it calls for coming together

<p>There seems to be no end to problems for Abhishek Kapoor's much talked about film 'Kedarnath'. At first, the director who is also the co-producer of the film got embroiled in a legal battle with co-producer KriArj Entertainment who left the film while it was still being shot.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ajendra Ajay, who is part of BJP's media relations team in Uttarakhand, wrote to Central Board of Film Certification Chairman Prasoon Joshi that despite being set against the backdrop of one of the worst human tragedies, the film directed by Abhishek Kapoor makes fun of Hindu sentiments.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Taking exception to a kissing scene between lead pair Sushant Singh Rajput and Sara Ali Khan featured in the film's teaser and a tagline in its poster reading 'Love is a Pilgrimage', the BJP leader alleged that it was an attack on the Hindu religion as Kedarnath represents the faith of crores of Hindus. "By setting a romantic love story against the backdrop of a huge tragedy that occurred at Kedarnath, a centre of faith for crores of Hindus, the filmmakers have shown great disrespect to the followers of the religion," Ajay told a news agency.</p>

Sara Ali Khan's debut film 'Kedarnath' has finally got a release date

<p>Sara&nbsp;Ali Khan&#39;s debut is perhaps one of the most anticipated ones in Bollywood this year. When photos from the sets of her debut film Kedarnath were released, the images instantly went viral. &nbsp;The crew has been sharing several on-set photos which have just piqued the curiosity level.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
But will the film ever release? News has it that the film&#39;s director Abhishek Kapoor and producer Prernaa Arora, of KriArj Entertainment, have had their differences and parted ways which has derailed the post-production work on the film.<br />
<br />
No other big producer is willing to take up the project as both Kapoor and Arora have decided to take legal action.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
When Kapoor called up Sara&#39;s mother, actress Amrita Singh about it, the actress lost her cool and lashed out at him. &quot; When Gattu called Dingy (Amrita) to tell her about his decision to fly solo with Kedarnath and only getting a big studio on board for the release, Amrita completely lost her cool with him. A heated argument took place between the two,&quot; a source told DNA.<br />
<br />
Rumours of a spat between the two started last year itself. Prerna wasn&#39;t keen that Kedarnath should release on December 21, as it would clash with SRK&#39;s Zero. However, Abhishek went ahead and announced the release date on Twitter. He refused to budge from his stance.<br />
<br />
When he was asked by the reporters, he had dismissed the rumours and stated that the producer and he were &#39;on the same page&#39;.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Now that the two have called it quits, looks like Sara&#39;s debut has gotten stalled for no fault of her&#39;s.&nbsp;<br />

Kedarnath is a love story in the backdrop of a pilgrimage. Sushant Singh Rajput plays the male lead opposite Sarah.&nbsp;</p>

" When Gattu called Dingy (Amrita) to tell her about his decision to fly solo with Kedarnath and only getting a big studio on board for the release, Amrita completely lost her cool with him. A heated argument took place between the two," a source told DNA. Rumours of a spat between the two started last year itself. Prerna wasn't keen that Kedarnath should release on December 21, as it would clash with SRK's Zero. However, Abhishek went ahead and announced the release date on Twitter. He refused to budge from his stance. When he was asked by the reporters, he had dismissed the rumours and stated that the producer and he were 'on the same page'. Now that the two have called it quits, looks like Sara's debut has gotten stalled for no fault of her's. Kedarnath is a love story in the backdrop of a pilgrimage. Sushant Singh Rajput plays the male lead opposite Sarah.

Sara Ali Khan is hardworking, able and already knows a lot: Sushant Singh Rajput

<p>Sara Ali Khan&#39; s Bollywood debut is highly anticipated one. Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh&#39;s daughter has been working hard for her debut in tinsel town for a while now. She has already started filming for her new film <em>Kedarnath</em> which also features Sushant Singh Rajput and is being directed by Abhishek Kapoor.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The crew recently completed the first schedule of the shoot in Uttrakhand and are currently in Mumbai where a set has been created for the film.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Now, it&#39;s no ordinary set as it has cost the makers a whopping Rs 7 crores. A report in DNA states that the set has been created in Filmcity in Mumbai and looks quite authentic.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
&ldquo;They have replicated the entire holy city at a whopping cost. A model of the Kedarnath temple has also been designed,&quot; a source has been quoted as saying.<br />
<br />
The film is based on the Uttrakhand flash floods that took place a few years ago. &nbsp;Filming of the flood scenes could not be possible at the actual site as the city has recently redeveloped itself, which is why the set had to be reconstructed in Mumbai.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Set in pilgrimage site Kedarnath, the film has Sushant Singh Rajput playing a tour guide.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
A few months back the makers had revealed the first look of Sara Ali Khan from the film. The image had instantly gone viral. In fact, both Abhishek Kapoor and his wife Pragya Yadav have been sharing photos of the lead pair from the sets for a while, increasing our curiosity level.&nbsp;</p>
