Boney Kapoor and Zee Studios’ produced survival thriller-drama ‘Mili’ is almost out and it’s the breathtaking reveals from the film that is increasing our intrigue. Janhvi Kapoor as Mili is the most challenging role, the actress has played till now. As is apparent from the trailer, the film captured Kapoor amid a freezing ambience and portrays her endless struggles to survive.
Janhvi undeniably attempts a fresh genre with Mili. Her dedication and authentic character-play are visible in the trailer of the film. The fact that Kapoor had to shoot for the film in -17 degree centigrade makes our hair stand on end! With no thermal wear (Mili’s accidental entrapment in the freezer) and constant shooting in the low gradient temperature, Kapoor faced a great struggle to portray Mili as genuine as possible. The portrayal of the consequential effect of the entrapment was the hardest for the actress. The endless shivers and the cyanotic effect (blue discolouration of the skin) due to the freezing temperatures were to be portrayed by her. We can only imagine what the situation could be. Apart from the actress, the whole cast and crew had to suffer constant cold and discomforts.
‘Mili’ is certainly the most challenging project opted by the actress and she has been so far entrepreneurial. Taking risks, choosing out-of-the-course subjects and diverting from the typical heroine roles, she is embracing a different aspect of being an actor. ‘Mili’ is going to mark the first-ever collab of the father-daughter duo, Boney and Janhvi Kapoor.
Zee Studios’ ‘Mili’ is the Hindi remake of Malayalam film ‘Helen’, directed by Mathukutty Xavier, who is also the director of the orginal one. The music is given by music composer A.R. Rahman and lyrics by the legendary Javed Akhtar. The film stars Janhvi Kapoor, Sunny Kaushal and Manoj Pahwa in pivotal roles and is scheduled to release in cinemas on November 4, 2022.
