Hello, From the Other Side

We make the lead pair of Mirzya walk a mile – or three years’ worth actually – in the other’s shoes

Hello, From the Other Side
There is something about talking to debutants – the ones whose current state of mind is built around that slippery slope where artifice meets reality, and who are still trying to figure out which side of the valley to cross over to. Not yet whitewashed by the excruciating demands of the industry, they hope to shine. These are the guys still testing how to take the chicanery of their craft to real life.

Like a parallel stream of consciousness, this thought floats into our head as we chat up the latest entrants on the silver screen, Harshvardhan Kapoor and Saiyami Kher, who are running from a radio interview to a newspaper shoot in the carefully constructed PR drill that accompanies big movie releases. Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s pièce de résistance – Mirzya – catapults these fledglings into a new era of public scrutiny this month. By the time you read this, the sensory overload from all kinds of media would’ve already had you form opinions on all aspects of their life – from their acting prowess and enunciations to their love lives and back stories.

Pause. Before you solidify your judgment call on this utterly good-looking debuting duo – one half hailing from a family that has produced a string of superstars, while the other a striking beauty from a sleepy town best known for its vineyards – read through to find out more about them and their world. But, not in their own words. We discover them through each others’ lenses, through the three-yearlong journey with the film.
