While we try to ride through the technical curveballs we are thrown at, we finally settle into the new square pockets of the new video conferencing norms as the country faces a second wave of the pandemic. Shlokka Pandit and Aadar Jain who will next be seen in
Hello Charlie – Excel Entertainment’s and Amazon Prime Video’s newest offering – are just as excited and stoked as we all are. The world needs a hardcore comedy to laugh away our worries and statistics staring at our faces which is exactly what the dream team of Pankaj Saraswat (director), Jain and Pandit have teamed up for. Basically a comedy of errors, the story is about a goofy simpleton and his dynamic with the gorilla who he is transporting to Diu. Aptly calling it a ‘Gomance’ – gorilla and romance – Jain wants the audience to see the innocence and the efforts that went into making the film. Pandit, who always wanted to become an actor sees this as her dream come true minus the ‘cliché’, recollects her entire experience as one of being full of learnings, takeaways, opportunities, workshops, stand-up comedies and so much more! Nailing a comedy genre and especially a ‘comedy of errors’ one at that can be daunting even for the most experienced artists, but Pandit and Jain showcase their skills with effortless and tremendous screen presence. Legendary actors like Jackie Shroff and Rajpal Yadav are also holding this film up on their shoulders bringing to the table their comic timing and delivery we have all loved until now.
