In a recent panel discussion at the IIFTC 2022, Samar Khan, CEO Juggernaut Productions said “It is just a matter of time before we will witness Indian Local stories being adapted for international audiences. I am sure that we will see it happening sooner than we expect. Witnessing our content being adapted in various international languages seems to be the next step.”

Film Tourism Boards of as many as 20 countries including Azerbaijan, Abu Dhabi, Krakow, Kazakhstan, Montenegro, Norway, Oman, Panama, Poland, Sri Lanka, Sweden, and Yas Island to name a few had come to India to participate in the India International Film Tourism Conclave to meet, interact, understand, and offer sops to Indian filmmakers to shoot in their respective countries. Producers and directors from across the country joined the conclave to meet the tourism boards.

“We already have a large Indian diaspora spread across the globe. Successful Indian series have already been seen by many people compared to Korean, Dutch, Israeli, French, or Spanish series. However, the percentage of Indians who may have watched international original content is very less and hence they are being adapted in India. Also, there is a set of audiences who would prefer the Indian adaptation over the original, as they feel more connected to the content” concluded Samar at the panel discussion.

The play is a social satire depicting events that unfold after a happily married couple, invites guests to their new flat. Tension mounts when a surprise visitor arrives to stir things up and lives and emotions threaten to spiral into chaos. Says Shilpa, “There is so much in this story that is relatable. Be it the seemingly affluent couple with EMIs to pay, a troubled TV star, or an ambitious actress with stars in her eyes. There is such immaculate timing in the ways things happen in the story. Nothing is as it appears and the play makes you laugh and also think. It touches on so many issues through humour and demonstrates how unreliable imagined realities are. ”

About working with Mahesh Dattani, Shilpa says, “Mahesh sir’s plays have always been personal favorites of mine. In fact, his ‘Final Solutions’ and ‘Tara’ marked my stage debut with Asmita Theatre Group in college. The audience’s reaction to these plays was always stunning. Working with him was a fantastic learning opportunity and the rehearsals and the shoot were seamless. Even though this was my first teleplay, I felt very comfortable with the format, thanks to him.”

Talking about the teleplay format, she says, “Even though I have worked on stage and in cinema, it was very rewarding to deconstruct certain notions about acting before attempting to construct a character. This was not exactly a live medium like theatre but it offered a new way to tell a story. Theatre is so rich in literature and emotions that it must be modified for a new generation. As an actor, this was an exciting territory to delve into. I find it fascinating that Zee Theatre is bringing a huge canvas of literature to life via teleplays without sacrificing the soul of theatre. About ‘The Big Fat City,’ I would say that it is a riot of laughter interspersed with thoughtful reflections. Watch it and expect to be entertained.”

The play will be screened on TataPlay Theatre, Dish & D2h Rangmanch Active and Airtel Spotlight on May 14th. It also stars Bhavna Pani, Mansi Multani, Nissar Khan, Sid Makkar, Anuj Guruwara and Deepal Doshi.

Season 1 was there to lay the seeds to get the characters introduced and take them to an extent, of course the kidnapping was part of it. Season 2 under director Sachin Mamta Krishn, it’s been an absolute pleasure working with him. I have the highest regards and my congratulations to him for being a wonderful director, it was a revelation as to how wonderfully he has directed the entire show”.

Sharing about the challenges the team faced while shooting the actor shares, “Season 2 the whole shoot was very challenging and that is why I would like to compliment the crew of Hostages season 2, the director and everyone because they selected an old house from one of the mills in Mumbai. The bungalow if you look at it you’d feel it will collapse, moreover for the authenticity for the show everything in the bungalow was left the way it was., the dust, dirt the condition of the house nothing was tampered so that we have the feel of an abundant house”.
