Manoj Pahwa remembers sharing a meal with Rishi Kapoor while filming Mulk: He once had a chef from the Taj hotel.

Manoj Pahwa has always delighted audiences with his endearing on-screen persona and acting prowess. His roles like Bhatia from Office Office and Dilbagh Singh from Singh Is Kinng, among others, have earned him recognition. He also appeared alongside the late legendary actor Rishi Kapoor in the Anubhav Sinha-directed film Mulk. Pahwa recalls having meals with his co-star while the movie was being made in a recent interview.

Manoj Pahwa spoke with presenter Samdish Bhatia on the Unfiltered By Samdish YouTube show about the day he had lunch with Rishi Kapoor while filming Mulk. “He used to have a chef from the Taj hotel. Because he was a Kapoor, his food was placed across the whole table.

Pahwa further disclosed that Anubhav Sinha had informed him that Pahwa’s casting as Bilal Ali Mohammed was being questioned by every member of the latter’s team. That was the case as a result of his reputation for playing comedic roles, such as Bhatia in Office Office. However, he said, Anubhav Sinha was sure of his choice. He added that after his role as Bilal in Mulk, people began to take him seriously as an actor.

Doctors actors Harleen Sethi and Sharad Kelkar claim that OTT makes realism possible: “You couldn’t even depict death on TV” | Exclusive

Sharad Kelkar and Harleen Sethi, stars of JioCinema’s show Doctors, explain why such a realistic show was not possible on TV.
There have been medical dramas on Indian television before, but not with the kind of realism that the West has shown. As Viraf Patell, star of Doctors, says, “They may have played doctors, but the real drama would often happen in their personal lives.” A new Indian show, Doctors, has attempted to change that, bringing into focus the lives of the men and women in the hospital as well. Stars of the series talk to HT about what makes it different.

Television is restrictive when it comes to medical dramas

Harleen Sethi, who plays the show’s protagonist Dr Nitya, says that the biggest change is that they can show more reality here. “I was talking to Siddharth P Malhotra, our producer, whose forte has been medical dramas,” she says, adding, “He made Sanjeevani and Dil Mill Gayye. He said that when he made medical dramas for TV, they weren’t allowed to show death. How do you show characters’ nuances when you can’t show death or blood in a medical show.”

There is more detailing in OTT shows

Her co-star Sharad Kelkar a veteran of television and cinema, agrees that the detailing in streaming is much more. “The detailing is much different on OTT. That is missing on TV. And the audience is not interested either. They want to see more drama than the detailing in television shows,” he argues.

OTT allows shows to touch sensitive issues

The actors say that the focus on more realism and detailing allowed the show to touch on issues that would have been impossible on primetime TV. “The kind of illnesses and issues we have talked about here – from euthanasia to organ donation – that is not possible on television,” says Harleen.

Apart from Sharad, Harleen, and Viraf, Doctors also stars Aamir Ali and Vivaan Shah. The show began streaming on Jiocinema on December 27.
