Taapsee Pannu has called it a wrap on a short in Anubhav Sinha’s upcoming anthology film, directed by Sudhir Mishra. The anthology film is based on stories around the coronavirus pandemic.
The yet-untitled anthology brings together makers like Mishra, Hansal Mehta, Ketan Mehta and Subhash Kapoor to thematically explore the “emotional shifts” in lives since the outbreak in 2020. It is produced by Sinha and Bhushan Kumar.
According to the makers, the project is said to showcase “emotional stories of love and compassion with the pandemic as a backdrop.”
Mishra's short, which was the first one to roll, was filmed in a start-to-finish schedule in Lucknow. It also stars Parambrata Chatterjee.
The segment explores a larger take on relationships and is set in two different eras, the makers said. Pannu described filming for the anthology as a learning experience.
“We had a ball of time, creating memories of a lifetime. Filmmakers like Sudhir Mishra and Anubhav Sinha are institutions who enhance your craft and for me, every day was dedicated to learning and evolving as an artiste,” Pannu said in a statement.
The short marks the first collaboration between Pannu with Mishra, director of films like Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi and Serious Men.
“From the first draft, I knew I wanted Taapsee to do the film. We had such a great time working on the film. Together we have made a film with all our heart and we hope it connects with the world,” Mishra said.
