Mumbai, 7th October : The current mass favourites of the nation the versatile Alia Bhatt and the supremely talented Ranbir Kapoor were up close and personal in their conversation with none other than Karan Johar in the last session of the evening “The Big Talk” at the Jio MAMI Movie Mela with Star.
The session was packed with fun where the two stars spoke about their upcoming projects, families, failures and on competition. On being asked about failure Ranbir said “Failure teaches you a lot. So I am proud to have the failures that I have in my career.” The actors also spoke on nepotism to which Alia said “I do believe it exists. But I don’t want to feel apologetic about it. Everyone wants their posterity to utilize the resources that they make available to them. I don’t want to feel sorry for being my father’s daughter.”
Karan Johar put the actors in a tough spot asking them how they strike a balance between being good actors and movie stars to which Ranbir replied “It’s harder to be a star. When I did Rockstar, Barfi and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. I wasn’t looking to becoming a star but these films eventually made me a movie star.”
Competition was another topic that was touched upon to which Alia and Ranbir both were on the same page. They both spoke extensively about how over the years envy is replaced with being content and now it’s motivating. Alia and Ranbir announced their untitled next release with Ayan Mukerji. The fans got to interact with the stars making it a lifetime experience for them.
Jio MAMI Film Festival
Mumbai - the financial capital of India is also the epicentre of the Indian film industry. The city plays such a major role in production and dissemination of Indian films and television programs that it is widely known by its acronym 'Bollywood'. In 1997, a group of film industry stalwarts headed by late Hrishikesh Mukherjee founded the Mumbai Academy of Moving Image (MAMI) as a not-for-profit Trust. Their main objective was to organise an annual International Film Festival which the film industry and the country could be proud of. MAMI has been organising the festival for the last 16 years and aims to foster a climate of good cinema. MAMI engages people from all walks of life across the city and country that enjoy and love good cinema. It is Mumbai’s only film festival that is entirely created and run by film professionals and a group of members from corporate India. Appreciation of good cinema, stripped off all the limiting labels of art and commercial, can only come about through exposure to the best of films the world has to offer. The Festival is the first step in that direction.
In their Mission Statement in 1997, the MAMI Board of Trustees said, “We feel it is the need of the hour to disseminate and inculcate good cinema among Indian audiences. The only way to achieve this is to celebrate cinema by hosting an International Film Festival in Mumbai, India’s film and entertainment capital. MAMI (Mumbai Academy of Moving Image) is committed to start Mumbai's first independent international film festival organized by practicing film makers.”
