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