“I didn’t choose the movie but the movie chose me” – Gauri
Making her acting debut with a black and white film Frozen, young and charming actress Gauri"s work has already been appreciated in various international film festivals. Let"s find out what the actress has to say about her debut film and many more.
Tell
us
about
your
role
in
the
movie?
I
play
the
character
of
Lasya
who
is
around
18
year
old
girl
and
this
girl
is
actually
very
bubbly
and
rebellious
sort
of
a
character.
She
has
created
her
own
world;
her
world
has
only
her
father
and
her
younger
brother.
She
doesn"t
like
to
go
beyond
her
world.
She
doesn"t
like
anybody
to
enter
her
world.
She
usually
likes
to
play
and
doesn"t
like
to
go
to
school.
How
did
you
bag
this
role?
I
have
done
a
music
video
called
chana
ve
ghar…
by
Kunal
Ganjawala.
The
producer
of
this
music
video
and
this
movie
is
the
same,
Shivajee
Chandrabhushan.
Post
the
shoot
of
chana
ve…
he
was
planning
to
make
the
film.
He
had
told
me
that
it"s
a
story
about
a
brother
and
a
sister
and
that
I
would
be
playing
the
role
of
sister,
so
that"s
how
I
got
the
role.
Why
did
you
choose
a
movie
like
frozen
for
your
debut?
I
didn"t
choose
the
movie
but
the
movie
chose
me.
I
know
it"s
a
bit
art
type
of
movie
but
everyone
does
commercial
cinema
and
in
future
even
I
am
going
to
do
commercial
cinema.
Getting
this
kind
of
a
role
is
a
big
asset
as
it
doesn"t
happen
to
you
everyday.
I
think
I
am
really
lucky
that
I
was
a
part
of
this
film.
I
don"t
come
from
a
filmy
background
or
have
done
any
acting
course
or
something
so
I
got
to
learn
so
many
things
and
from
my
first
movie.
I
also
had
a
nomination
for
best
actress
at
Russia
and
Greece
festival.
And
this
being
my
first
film
and
getting
a
nomination
for
best
actress
and
that
too
on
the
international
level
in
itself
was
a
big
thing
for
me.
So
I
am
happy
I
got
a
movie
like
frozen
for
my
debut.
Frozen
is
a
Black
and
White
film,
but
its
being
called
the
most
colorful
film…
It
has
lot
of
colors
because
I
think
the
story
has
got
many
shades.
Every
character
has
got
different
shades.
The
character
graph
is
such
that
I
feel
there
is
a
lot
of
color
added
to
it.
It
is
very
universal
movie
and
it
will
appeal
to
everybody.
Tell
us
about
your
co
stars?
How
was
it
working
with
veteran
actor
like
Danny?
It
was
very
good
working
with
Danny.
In
this
movie
he
doesn"t
carry
villains" image
like
in
all
other
his
films.
He
is
very
kind
and
we
had
a
very
good
comfort
level
and
off
screen
also
he
used
to
sing
songs
and
tell
us
stories
about
his
shooting
days.
This
role
of
his
required
a
very
subtle
acting
rather
than
what
he
usually
do
and
he
has
done
it
amazingly
well.
You all shot in Ladakh. So how was your experience shooting at high altitude as you face problems relating to low oxygen and low temperatures?
Yes there you face these problems but we were taken care by the production very well. We went a week before to get familiar to the place and Shivaji being a mountaineer and trekker knew exactly what things we will all need to survive in this conditions. We were provided heaters, food and the production took care of us very well. Even our costumes were designed in such a way that we can wear two three warm clothes inside. Despite all this, yes of course, the cold was too much and especially when we had shoot outdoors. We used to run towards the light as soon as our shot used to get over in order to get the warmth out of it. But I think the excitement of working in the first film was too much that it blew away all the cold.
The
film
deals
with
father
and
child
relationship
tell
us
about
that?
What
type
of
relationship
you
share
with
your
father?
Its
actually
about
this
family;
father,
daughter
and
the
younger
brother
who
stay
in
a
remote
place
in
Ladakh
and
army
camp
is
setup
100
meters
away
from
there
place,
so
the
difficulties
and
the
problems
that
the
family
faces
after
the
army
camp
is
setup
and
everything
is
shown
through
the
eyes
of
this
girl
who
is
played
by
me.
The
relationship
between
father
and
daughter
is
very
subtle.
It"s
shown
in
a
very
subtle
manner.
For
her,
her
father
is
everything,
so
that
sort
of
relationship
is
shown
between
Danny
sir
and
me.
I
share
exactly
the
same
relationship
with
my
father
too.
He
has
always
supported
me
and
he
is
like
a
friend
to
me.
It
has
won
18
awards
in
film
festivals
so
how
does
it
feel?
Are
you
nervous
with
the
release
of
the
film
in
India?
It
feels
amazing
and
really
nice
because
getting
recognition
internationally
and
winning
so
many
awards
is
always
special.
I
am
very
nervous
and
excited
too.
Your
future
projects?
I
am
doing
another
art
film
called
Khargosh.
My
talks
are
on
for
many
other
projects
but
I
don"t
want
to
talk
about
it
right
now.
