“I did my last interview
“I did my last interview with Vicky Kaushal, & we both were so emotional. Shutting down Film Companion is a bittersweet moment for me, but it’s really important to not get comfortable and move ahead in life. All I want is to be in a dark movie theater!”
If there is anyone who lives, eats and breathes cinema, then it has to be Anupama Chopra. She knows that nothing matches the high of a good film, & every Friday that’s what she does – goes into the dark theater room in search of that one movie that fills her heart and soul. With her baby Film Companion, she has filled every cinema lover's heart. From her insightful interviews to in-detail reviews, every bit was an ode to cinema.
And now with @FilmCompanionStudios shutting down, an era has come to an end. Anupama Chopra, in this episode exclusively spoke about the emotions that she is going through – her childlike excitement to embark on a new journey, her fear of taking up a new project & her bittersweet feeling of leaving FC behind.
Join us as we unravel the journey of someone who made cinema her life. We also talked about the criticisms she faces, her favorite interviews, the ones that were extremely hard to conduct, her bond with SRK, her experience of documenting SS Rajamouli’s journey and much more. If you are someone who loves every bit of the big screen – this episode is just for you.
We talked about:
. Facing criticisms
. Moving to Hollywood
. Balancing life as a reviewer & an entrepreneur
. Reviewing films of close ones
. Shah Rukh Khan & his charm
. Predicting 12th Fail would tank
