I'm sad, want audiences to watch our film: Sunita Rajwar on 'Santosh' not releasing in India
MUMBAI: Actor Sunita Rajwar says it is disheartening that her film 'Santosh' will not release in India despite receiving acclaim globally.
The Sandhya Suri-directed movie, Britain's official entry to the Oscars in 2025, could not be released after facing hurdles in its censor certification.
The actor, who played one of the two women officers in the movie, said her role in the movie is one of her best works.
"I'm sad because I have a very different role in it, it's a good role, it's a big role. Every artist wants everyone to see their best work. We expect that if people see our work, then you will be offered either that role of that calibre or a different kind of role."
"We all want the audience should at least get to see it (the film) and see what we've done in it."

Seth Rogen reveals why his 'Gigli' audition tape could have ruined his career
Seth Rogen , known for his comedic roles and successful career spanning over two decades, recently shared an amusing and humbling recollection of an audition from over twenty years ago. Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Rogen opened up about his experience auditioning for the 2003 romantic comedy 'Gigli', a film that would later become infamous for being the launchpad for the Bennifer era. In a candid interview, Rogen recalled his time as an "aspiring young actor" in the early 2000s, when he sought the role of Brian, a mentally challenged hostage. Ultimately, the part went to actor Justin Bartha , but Rogen's audition experience would become a lasting memory for him. "It has been a long time," Rogen remarked, reflecting on the audition, adding, "And thank god it was mostly physical VHS tapes and stuff like that that was being used when I was auditioning for things. Because the things I auditioned for, in retrospect, if they were out there in the world, they would end my career very, very fast, I believe," as quoted by Deadline. He explained that the script for 'Gigli' was not exactly a beacon of sensitivity when it came to portraying a character with a cognitive disability, especially by today's standards. Rogen humorously admitted that his take on the role was far from respectful, revealing that his interpretation would likely spark outrage if ever exposed to the public today. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo Rogen recounted how eager he was to impress the film's esteemed director, Martin Brest, and the star-studded cast. "I wanted to leave an impression," he said, adding that his overzealous attempt to stand out might have gone a bit too far. "I don't think I wore a helmet into the audition itself, but it was at play," he said, referencing how far he might have gone to embody the role. "And I'm tempted to do an impression of what I did, but I can't even do it. I can't. That's how bad it was. It's so bad. I dare not even portray what I did in this audition. Because I went for it. I saw myself at the Oscars," he said, as quoted by Deadline. Acknowledging just how cringeworthy the audition was, Rogen felt dread at the thought of that VHS tape ever being released. "Truthfully, if that tape was out [in] the world today, this would be the last interview you ever saw me do," he said, adding, "Other than, like, my apology tour. Please, if you have it, burn it. Please sell it to me. I will buy it," as quoted by Deadline.

Almost Impossible To Make Slumdog Millionaire Today, Says Director Danny Boyle
Last Updated: Slumdog Millionaire revolves around the story of a boy from Mumbai's Juhu slums who lands on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Nearly two decades after Slumdog Millionaire made history at the Oscars, director Danny Boyle is reflecting on the film and its impact. The story of a boy from Mumbai's Juhu slums who lands on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? It became a global hit and won eight Academy Awards in 2009. In a recent interview with The Guardian, Boyle said the film couldn't be made today. 'We wouldn't be able to make that now. And that's how it should be," he said. Boyle said it is 'time to reflect" on a British director telling a story based in India. 'We have to look at the cultural baggage we carry and the mark that we've left on the world." He added that Slumdog Millionaire 'felt radical" at the time it was made, nearly 20 years ago. He explained that only a few crew members from the UK travelled to Mumbai. The rest of the team was local. The goal was to work within Indian culture. 'We made the decision that only a handful of us would go to Mumbai. We'd work with a big Indian crew and try to make a film within the culture. But you're still an outsider. It's still a flawed method. That kind of cultural appropriation might be sanctioned at certain times. But at other times it cannot be," he said. Boyle also mentioned that if such a film were made today, he would want a young Indian filmmaker to direct it. Despite the challenges, Boyle said he was 'proud of the film." Along with actors Dev Patel, Freida Pinto, Madhur Mittal and Anil Kapoor, the film's success brought Boyle into the spotlight as a major director. But he said he never wanted to become a typical Hollywood name. 'It all comes back to punk, really. Not that my work is truly revolutionary or radical… I believe in popular entertainment. I want to push the boat out, but take the popular audience with me," he said. Boyle's latest film, 28 Years Later, is now in theatres. It is the third installment in the 28 Days Later series, following 28 Days Later (2002) and 28 Weeks Later (2007). The film, written by Alex Garland, stars Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Alfie Williams and Ralph Fiennes. Boyle said real-world events like Brexit and the COVID pandemic played a big role in shaping the story this time. First Published:
