Shoojit Sircar with Amitabh Bachchan on sets of 'Pink'

'Pink' turns 8: Shoojit was 'pissed off' after no producer was bankrolling film

As ‘Pink’ celebrates its 8th anniversary, it's a fitting time to reflect on the remarkable journey of this acclaimed film. ‘Pink’, which went on to become a commercial success and won the National Award, was not always a guaranteed hit. In an old interview following the film’s release, Shoojit Sircar shared the challenges he faced in securing funding for the project. Despite its eventual acclaim and box office success, ‘Pink’ encountered significant obstacles before its release. Shoojit Sircar, who was both the producer and creative director of the film, faced numerous rejections from producers. This experience was both demoralizing and infuriating for Sircar. The film’s impressive cast, including Amitabh Bachchan and Taapsee Pannu, was not enough to convince studios to back the project initially. Many believed ‘Pink’ would not succeed Sircar expressed his frustration, stating, "It's my vision, How do you know about my vision?" He was resolute in his decision to not let a handful of people in a studio dictate the future of his vision. Creative producer Ronnie Lahiri noted that many believed the film would not succeed given the casting choices and the story’s nature. Ritesh Shah, the film's writer, mentioned that the skepticism from some studios made Sircar feel as if his credibility as a filmmaker was being questioned, despite his previous successes with Vicky Donor, Piku, and Madras Cafe. Shoojit Sircar was really ‘pissed off’ Faced with repeated refusals, Sircar decided to take matters into his own hands, declaring, "Koi bhi studio ke paas nahin jayenge, khud karenge chahe kuch bhi ho jaye. I wasn’t challenging them, I was challenging myself. I was really pissed off." Ultimately, Sircar’s gamble paid off. The film, made on a budget of just Rs. 23 crore, exceeded expectations by grossing over 100 crore at the box office. About ‘Shoojit Sircar’s ‘Pink’ 'Pink', which starred Amitabh Bachchan and Taapsee Pannu in key roles, is the story of three women, who are aided by a lawyer in a molestation case against three boys from influential backgrounds. The Tamil version 'Nerkonda Paarvai' featured Ajith Kumar, while the Telugu version 'Vakeel Saab' starred Pawan Kalyan.  As ‘Pink’ continues to be a powerful example of impactful storytelling, Shoojit Sircar and Rising Sun Films are set to carry forward their legacy with their next project. Their upcoming film, featuring Abhishek Bachchan, is scheduled for a worldwide release on November 15th, 2024.

In Pics: Esha Deol

Esha Deol reveals following THIS conservative norm during her periods

Esha Deol has been quite vocal about her personal and professional life. The actress recently discussed an orthodox ritual she followed while growing up, revealing that she was not allowed to pray at temples during her periods. Reflecting on the conservative norm, she shared, "I respect it if that’s a part of the house you live in." Esha Deol talks about receiving sex education, recalls conservative norms at home In an episode of 'Hautterfly's The Male Feminist', Esha Deol recalled learning about menstruation and periods during sex education at school. She stated, “I learnt about it at school. Our school had sex education, and they taught us well and at the right time. And it is important. There are a few parents who feel uncomfortable and shy. We were not allowed to go to the temple and pray. When it is done, you can wash your hair and then you can pray. That’s just an orthodox way, and I follow it. I respect it if that’s a part of the house you live in." Esha Deol recalls Dharmendra not wanting her to act In the same interview, Esha revealed that her father, Dharmendra, was against her becoming an actress and would have preferred her to marry and settle down by the time she was 18. She said, “He didn’t want me to enter the movies. He is a bit orthodox, rightfully so. He is a Punjabi father, and he wanted us to get married and settle down at 18.” “There was a phase where I would lie to go out on late nights,” she added. Esha Deol described her father as "rightfully orthodox," explaining that his views came from how he was raised. She mentioned that he wanted her to marry early, which was common in his environment. Esha added that while her father, being Punjabi, expected her to be married and settled by 18, her own upbringing was quite different. Esha Deol on the work front Esha made her Bollywood debut with 'Koi Mere Dil Se Poochhe' and went on to star in films such as 'Na Tum Jaano Na Hum', 'Kyaa Dil Ne Kahaa', 'Kucch To Hai', 'Chura Liyaa Hai Tumne', 'LOC: Kargil', 'Yuva', 'Dhoom', 'Insan', 'Kaal', 'Dus', and 'No Entry'.

Taapsee Pannu

8 years of Pink: Taapsee says, 'We're still fighting for security of women'

Taapsee Pannu is one actress who has always made waves with her compelling performances on screen and has carved a niche for herself in mainstream cinema. While she has delivered many remarkable and impactful characters in her films, her brilliant portrayal of a girl who is a victim of molestation in Pink is undoubtedly one of the most special. The actress not only did justice to her character but also highlighted the significant issue of women's safety and security. Although it has been 8 years since the film's release, it remains special for its subject and Taapsee's powerful performance. On the 8th anniversary of Pink, Taapsee acknowledged the current situation of women's safety in the country while revisiting the film's theme. She said, “8 years back we never knew this small film of ours will find such a big place in the notable films of our country and 8 years after that we can’t believe that we are still amidst the battle and struggle of security of women and their consent. What bitter-sweet emotion it is for someone who is proud to be a part of this film." Pink revolves around a girl named Minal, who, after being molested, tries to file an FIR against a politician's nephew. When the subsequent case gets rigged, Deepak, a retired lawyer, helps her to fight the case.  Taapsee Pannu has said earlier that 'Pink' not only gave her an audience, but also a sense of direction.  Remarkably, at the 64th National Film Awards, Pink won in the category of Best Film on Other Social Issues. In the film, Taapsee played Meenal Arora and received tremendous love for her performance. She played a significant role alongside Amitabh Bachchan and made a lasting impact. Apart from this, Taapsee continued to establish herself as a leading mainstream actress with films like Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba and Khel Khel Mein, both released in August, which became even more special as it is her birthday month. Now, everyone is eagerly looking forward to hearing more about her upcoming projects.

Fashion designer Masaba Gupta, who is expecting her first child with actor Satyadeep Misra, sat down for a candid conversation recalling her traumatic childhood since she was born out of wedlock to veteran actress Neena Gupta and West Indies cricket legend Vivian Richards. Masaba spoke about how tough it was for her mother and herself.  Masaba Gupta was born out of wedlock  Actor Neena Gupta and former West Indies player Vivian Alexander Richards had Masaba out of wedlock and have lived separately throughout their life. Neena welcomed her daughter Masaba on November 2, 1989. She raised her alone. In 2008, Neena got married to chartered accountant Vivek Mehra.  Speaking of Neena’s struggles when she was pregnant, the fashion designer said, “She didn’t have her mom around, her father was against it because it was out of wedlock. My father Viv Richards wasn’t around, and friends were around but it was not the same, everyone had their life. She couldn’t tell people that she was pregnant with me, so she had to hide her pregnancy. She didn’t have money. When I asked her how she managed through all of this she just said, ‘I was very happy to have a child of my own. I had no clue how I would bring you up.'”           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Masaba 🤎 (@masabagupta) Masaba Gupta was called a ‘bas***d in school  Shedding light on the discrimination she faced in school, Masaba said, “It was used against me 100 percent, it was public and it was very interesting because the kids would speak about it like adults. I could hear them repeating something they heard in their house. One kid went on to say, ‘Hey bast**d, I believe you are a bast**d child’. This was when I was in the 7th grade. A lot of people also didn’t understand how I looked physically or why I looked like that.” Masaba Gupt is expecting her first child with Satyadeep Misra Masaba and Satyadeep tied the knot in January 2023. She announced her pregnancy in April. "In other news - Two little feet are on their way to us! Please send love, blessings, and banana chips ( plain salted ONLY) #babyonboard #mom&dad," she wrote.
