Ritvik Sahore, who essays the role of Shantanu Bansal in the series, reveals what drew him to the project. He shared, “First and foremost, the script blew me away the moment I read it. It was the kind of character and story I had been waiting to be a part of for a long time. When Jamnapaar came along, there was no reason to say no to it. It was perfect, and I wanted to be a part of it in any capacity.”

Reflecting on his personal growth and major takeaway from the series, he added, “I learned a lot about myself as a person. Although I relate to Shanky in some way, he is still a different person from Ritvik. Playing this character taught me a lot about myself, how far I would go for someone and where to set boundaries. It was also an utterly joyful experience to work with an incredible team on this series.”

Written, produced and directed by #DeepaBhatia, First Act is an impactful docuseries which chronicles the experiences of child actors and their parents as they navigate through the Indian entertainment industry

First Act is currently streaming on Prime Video in India, and across 240 countries and territories

Prime Video, India’s most loved entertainment destination, today launched an immersive, soul stirring music album from its critically acclaimed Amazon Original docuseries First Act, which is written, produced and directed by Deepa Bhatia, under the banner of MalaKan Motion Pictures with Amole Gupte serving as creative producer, songwriter and vocalist. Composed by Amaal Mallik, the album promises pure rhapsody to the audience, with powerful lyrics intricately woven with emotions and accentuated by poignant yet fast-paced beats. The music album is now available on major music streaming platforms such as Amazon Music, Spotify, Jiosaavn, Apple Music, among others.

The six-part docuseries highlights the important role played by both parents and the industry in safeguarding the well-being of children, underscoring the significance of fostering a secure and balanced childhood for them as they face a highly dynamic and competitive environment at such a young age. In addition to First Act’s compelling theme, impactful narratives, and impeccable direction, its incredible soundtrack has been praised by the audiences. Amaal Mallik, the music composer for the series, has created magic with each composition, adding an intense atmospheric layer that harmonizes perfectly with the profound subject.

The album boasts of four dynamic tracks, featuring soulful tunes like *Kal Woh Humara Hai*, a fervent anthem reflecting the aspirations of families venturing into the entertainment industry. Suroor delivers a pulsating rap-style narrative, encapsulating the struggles of those migrating to Mumbai in pursuit of success. In Ali Ali, a qawwali-infused song, a determined dancer strives to enter the film industry, showcasing tenacity and a never-say-die spirit. The fast-paced Ke Lag Gaye (Patri Pe Chal) is about the relentless grind and obstacles in the pursuit of dreams. The music album brings together talented singers and writers such as Vaibhav Pani, Amole Gupte Abhishek Gautam, Riz Shain, Ansh Radia, Mujtaba Aziz Naza, Parry G, and Yash Narvekar.

Deepa Bhatia, the writer, director and producer of the docuseries said, “With First Act, both Amaal and I were looking to create songs that reflected the positive self-belief the characters have, as well as the tough times they go through. With the score, the aim was to create a quiet, sensitive mood, that felt organic and real and just flows with the situations of the characters. Amaal has thrilled me with this nuanced approach to the score. Amole is so close the soul and subject of the series, that his depth combined with Amaal’s musical range and the talented team he put together has resulted in such beautiful tracks, leaving a lasting impression on the listeners’ minds and hearts.”

Talking about the album, Music Composer Amaal Mallik expressed, “For me, music is more than just stringing words and notes together – it’s a feeling, a retrospection of life. It needs to have an impact on the listener. Collaborating with Deepa and Amole on this special, thought-provoking series has been an absolute pleasure, and their passion is truly inspiring. When I compose a song, I believe simple words can reflect the hard truth of the story and that’s what I tried to achieve with First Act’s music as well. I got an opportunity to experiment with diverse genres and collaborate with different artists, to curate this music album which I am so proud of. I am overwhelmed with the reactions we have received for the tracks, and I am so excited to launch the album, which will now be available on various music streaming platforms.”

“I am genuinely excited about the launch of this music album, which brings together a collection of truly remarkable and diverse tracks that, I believe, have deeply connected with the audience. Amaal is well-known for his impressive body of work, and he has once again showcased his magic with compositions for a show centered on the impactful theme of child artists’ experiences in the entertainment industry. Working closely as a lyricist, with Amaal scoring the music and singing too, was such a joyous experience,” shared Amol Gupte, creative producer, for the docuseries.

The series presents candid and authentic narratives shared by former child artists who have transitioned into accomplished actors, such as Sarika, Jugal Hansraj, Parzaan Dastur, and Darsheel Safary. Additionally, it features insights from noted filmmakers who have worked closely with child artists during the course of their careers, such as Shoojit Sircar and Amole Gupte, as well as casting directors such as Mukesh Chhabra, Honey Trehan, and Tess Joseph, providing a comprehensive viewpoint on the dynamics of working with child artists in the industry.

“Prime Video has presented a string of impactful docuseries on interesting and relevant subjects, including Cinema Marte Dum Tak, Rainbow Rishta, and Dancing on the Grave, which have resonated with our audience. We take pride in presenting First Act, which shines a spotlight on the lives of child artistes in India, and unravels the daily challenges and pressures they navigate. The docuseries is a gripping narrative that examines the role played by the parents and the film and television industry as custodians of these child actors,” said Aparna Purohit, head of Originals, India and Southeast Asia, Prime Video. “When we heard the initial pitch for the story, we were eager to delve deeper, because we recognized the relevance of the subject. This is the first time ever that a story about child actors in the Indian entertainment industry has been attempted and we truly believe in the importance of bringing forth such narratives. This also marks our first collaboration with MalaKan Motion Pictures, and we are genuinely thrilled to unite in sharing a unified vision for this project.”

“This was a project that had been sitting with me on the back burner for some time. Child actors are an integral part of the Indian film and television industry, and many beautiful stories would not be as impactful without them,” said Deepa Bhatia, director. “However, these artists face a unique set of challenges that I felt needed to be shared. I am so delighted that professionals who started their careers as child actors have come forward to support this project, in addition to the stalwarts. I feel it will be of special interest to the parents, educators, and filmmakers to see this documentary and understand the challenges faced by child actors so that they can step in and make things better where they can. I am looking forward to seeing the impact that this docuseries will create as it reaches global audiences with Prime Video.”

Talking about the most crucial criterion for playing the character of Pawan in the series, Mayur More shared, “In Slum Golf, Pawan strives hard to become a professional golfer, which made me wonder how I would bring out authenticity in my portrayal. I was confident about managing to bring conviction to other aspects of my performance except for authentically essaying the role of a professional golfer. Interestingly, Vinay, one of our writers, plays golf, and it was the first thing I got to know when I finally got roped in for the series. So, I told them clearly that I wanted to learn golf. I remember I even told the team that I wouldn’t take up the role if I couldn’t get to learn golf. It was an important criterion for me. Unfortunately, I had very little time to learn golf, around 15-20 days, as we were supposed to start shooting in May.”

Delving further into the preparations for learning the key basics of golf, Mayur expressed, “We couldn’t get the coaching that we were supposed to. There is a small sports club in Lokhandwala, where you can go and work on your basics, so I went there and practiced. Golf is a very difficult game. Before hitting the ball, my coach repeatedly told me that I must remember 89 things, and I was like I don’t even have 89 days for this. However, I somehow managed to practice, tried to learn their posture and body language, and understand how they hit the ball and where it landed. I learned all this just to be able to sink my teeth into my character as a pro golfer. Although I was hitting bad shots, there were a few decent ones too, which used to boost my confidence.”

Adding to this, he emoted his delight to being praised for his professional body language, “I used to get comments that I fit the role of a pro golfer, which was an advantage. I knew I could crack the posture. I got to learn so many new things about golf – how one thinks when one hits the ball, deals with the pressure, understands the direction of the wind, among many other things. Since I have a cricketing background, getting a hang of the body language was not a herculean task. I am glad that I got to learn a new game.”

Indulge in this endearing tale and experience a range of emotions with Slum Golf on Amazon miniTV, available on Amazon’s shopping app, on Fire TV, and Play Store.
