| | Interview of the week with Shriya Saran
|
Shriya Saran embarks on one of her most emotionally challenging roles to date in the JioHotstar (OTTplay Premium) series, Space Gen: Chandrayaan, set in an era where India's space ambitions have captured the global imagination. Portraying a scientist at the heart of a mission that balanced the pinnacle of human ingenuity with the crushing weight of public setback, Saran delivers a performance that is as much about the silence of the control room as it is about the resilience of the human spirit. In this exclusive conversation with OTTplay, the actor dives deep into the "mature silence" of the ISRO team, the personal sacrifices made behind the scenes during the pandemic, and how channelling the discipline of a "working mom" helped her ground a character that was larger than any single dream.

Gandhi Talks director Kishor Pandurang Belekar talks about making a silent film, the obstacles he faced and more. Read the interview here. |
