Anindita Bose still can’t forget her shooting experience at the historic
Ellora Caves
. The talented actress recently appeared in a web anthology film based on
Satyajit
ray’s short films. She got the opportunity to shoot at the heritage site for this particular film under the direction of
Srijit Mukherji.
“I’d been to Ajanta before when I was a kid, but not to Ellora. To be able to be there, during Covid times, shooting this film, it just all seemed so surreal. I stared at the structures, the carvings for hours. I still don’t understand how something so beautiful was made so many years back with limited resources, recalls the actress.
For her part in the film, Anindita shared the screen with versatile actor
Ali Fazal and she says it’s an experience of a lifetime. “It was great to work with Ali. I was quite intimidated at first, ’cause I am quite a fan of ‘Guddu bhaiya’, but he is so grounded, so warm and doesn’t shy away from showing his vulnerabilities. I think that is what makes him such a brilliant actor. He totally gives in, he is able to mould himself so easily. He is extremely chilled out, very approachable and a lovely human being,” added Anindita.
