Actor
Mukul
Chadda
is
currently
awaiting
the
premiere
of
his
new
film
'Fairy
Folk',
which
he
stars
in
alongside
his
wife,
Rasika
Dugal.
In
an
innovative
approach
to
filmmaking,
Mukul
revealed
that
he
performed
scenes
that
lasted
up
to
25
minutes
without
any
interruptions
or
cuts,
a
process
that
vividly
reminded
him
of
his
time
in
theatre.
This
unique
method
allowed
for
a
more
spontaneous
and
authentic
portrayal
of
their
characters,
as
they
navigated
through
the
storyline
in
real-time.
Mukul
explained
the
process
as
a
return
to
his
theatrical
roots,
where
the
onus
is
entirely
on
the
actor
to
carry
the
narrative
forward
without
the
safety
net
of
retakes
and
edits.
"There
were
really
long
takes,
some
as
long
as
25
minutes!
It
felt
like
I
was
back
doing
theatre
or
an
entirely
improvised
play," he
told
IANS,
emphasizing
the
challenging
yet
rewarding
nature
of
this
filming
technique.
The
film's
director,
Karan
Gour,
played
a
crucial
role
in
this
creative
decision,
providing
Mukul
and
Rasika
with
the
freedom
to
explore
and
improvise
their
scenes
extensively.
This
approach
not
only
liberated
them
as
actors
but
also
ensured
a
genuine
and
instinctual
portrayal
of
their
characters'
journey
throughout
the
film.
Mukul
highlighted
the
significance
of
this
method,
saying,
"The
liberty
given
by
Karan
Gour
to
explore
our
way
through
scenes
without
frequent
cuts
is
very
liberating
for
an
actor."
'Fairy
Folk',
under
Karan
Gour's
direction,
harnesses
the
power
of
spontaneity
and
creativity
to
weave
its
story
on
the
silver
screen.
The
film
promises
a
unique
cinematic
experience,
distinguishing
itself
through
its
improvised
scenes
and
the
natural
chemistry
between
its
leads.
With
its
theatrical
release
set
for
March
1,
audiences
can
look
forward
to
a
narrative
brought
to
life
through
the
authentic
expressions
and
unfiltered
emotions
of
its
characters.
As
the
film
industry
continues
to
evolve,
techniques
such
as
those
employed
in
'Fairy
Folk'
offer
a
glimpse
into
the
potential
futures
of
storytelling.
By
blurring
the
lines
between
theatre
and
film,
Mukul
Chadda,
Rasika
Dugal,
and
Karan
Gour
invite
viewers
into
an
immersive
experience,
where
the
raw
and
unscripted
moments
take
center
stage.
