Mumbai, Feb 3 (NationPress) Kaveri Kapur, the daughter of renowned filmmaker Shekhar Kapur, is poised to make her acting debut in an upcoming streaming project. She will star alongside Vardhan Puri in 'Bobby Aur Rishi Ki Love Story'.
The film is under the direction of Kunal Kohli. While this marks her first foray into Bollywood, Kaveri is not unfamiliar with the camera, having previously featured in 4 music videos. Now, the exceptionally talented daughter of Shekhar Kapur and Suchitra Krishnamoorthi is ready to make a mark in the film industry.
Information regarding the film, which has been entirely filmed in the UK, has been kept closely guarded. The initial look of the project was unveiled today and is garnering positive feedback. There were earlier speculations that Kaveri would debut in her father's film 'Masoom- the next generation'. However, the privilege of launching her will now be with Kunal Kohli.
'Bobby Aur Rishi Ki Love Story' is scheduled to stream on Disney+ Hotstar on February 11.
Kaveri previously shared a video of herself reciting a poem, which she presumably wrote. Shekhar Kapur is acclaimed for films such as 'Bandit Queen', 'Elizabeth', 'Mr. India', among others.
In her poem, Kaveri expressed her feelings throughout the year and the emotions she experienced. She stated in the video, “In January, I learned that I don’t know me. In February, I met a man, he taught me who I’m, who is my body. In March, I fell apart trying to mould flesh into art hoping someone would deem me worthy. In April, I got bored, I was no longer satisfied being a piece of meat for a carnivore.”
She elaborated, “In May, I fell from grace. I told lies, I healed hearts. In June, I looked in the mirror, and saw a light and a dark. In July, I saw emptiness start to fill up with parts and pieces that flowed into the pit of my identity. I took a break to realise that we are all the same, you and me. In August, I tried to clear my mind of things I didn’t like. But, all it did was exemplify. So, in August, I danced with my demons and talked with my secrets, and drank the nights away.”
“September was gloomy weather, and every time the rain swept me away it would appear. She is bolder, wiser, and has a lot more to say. So, October was me trying to get hold of her. Just as I was doing the very first day. October was confusion and chaos and a lot of mistakes. By November, I discovered love and the cosmic mess that it makes. By December, I knew that I’m every force of nature, the sinner and the saint,” she concluded.
