It’s about any two people trying to find love. - Himanshu Sharma, writer

TUSHAR KANTI RAY
GUEST INTERVIEW
Director of Photography, Kedarnath
Known for his superb work in films such as Lucknow Central, Katti Batti and Shor in the City, lensman Tushar Kanti Ray takes us behind the scenes of Kedarnath, his most visually stunning project yet.
Kedarnath is based on a mega-disaster that struck Uttarakhand in the year 2013 and claimed thousands of lives. How hard was it to shoot the apocalyptic events in the film? While every film we shoot has its own set of challenges, Kedarnath was mounted on a much greater scale. We braved long treks up freezing tracks and back. And on the mountains, it’s Nature that calls the shots—you cannot control the light conditions. So, we had to time each scene to be able to catch the perfect angle of the sun. Then there were times we had to stand submerged in the water for hours, to recreate the overwhelming floods. Where did you shoot? A good chunk of the film was shot in Kedarnath, during PVR MOVIES FIRST
the yatra. We also filmed at a village some 70 kilometres away. The flood sequences were part VFX and part real shoot, but we’ve worked hard to blend them seamlessly. Key portions of the film were also shot on specially erected sets in Mumbai. Most beautiful location In the region where we shot, natural beauty is sprinkled as far as the eye can see. But to me, the really beautiful thing is the spirituality and pristine feel of the land. The place hums with positive, healing energy. On debutante Sara Ali Khan I am not the first or the last one to say so— the girl has a bright future ahead. She is made for the camera. Last word If you haven’t been to Kedarnath, this is the closest you will come to experiencing it. PAGE 18

Kathryn Newton
You might recognize the 21-year-old actress from her work as Abigail Carlson in Big Little Lies or from the movies Lady Bird and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. It’s been a big year for Kathryn Newton, who’ll be seen alongside Julia Roberts in this month’s muchawaited blockbuster, Ben is Back. The young, up-and-coming actress has had a dynamic life, from TV shows to movies, all the way to her amateur professional golfing career. Today, she has more on her plate than most young women her age - with a side of growing success. Against All Odds: With an acting career dating back to 2001 at the young age of 4, it was clear that Newton knew from the beginning who she planned to be. First seen in the 2011 film Bad Teacher alongside Cameron Diaz, Kathryn landed her first true lead role of Alex Nelson - a haunted teen the very next year, in Paranormal Activity 4. PVR MOVIES FIRST
RISING STAR
The performance earned her a Young Artist Award for Best Performance in a Feature Film.
’ve never thought of acting as a job. The whole time, you’re creating around people who are interested in the same things you are, working together to make something great. I don’t think it’s right to call it work — Kathryn Newton
PAGE 20
In what is being called her breakout year, she’s already played a string of roles as the onscreen daughters to Reese Witherspoon in Big Little Lies, Frances McDormand in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Leslie Mann in Blockers and Julia Roberts in Ben Is Back. Upcoming for Newton: Legendary’s Detective Pikachu and Netflix’s femaleled Lord of the Flies-esque drama series.
UP CLOSE: Not yet old enough to drink, Kathryn keeps her teddy bear by her bedside. She owns two poodles and collects vintage T-shirts. Kathryn’s estimated net worth is already estimated at over $1 million
She’s Good at Golf: Kathryn’s father, David Newton, is a professional golfer and has seemingly passed on his talents to Kathryn. In 2012, after already establishing the beginning of her acting career, Kathryn announced she was working towards her goal of entering the U.S. Women’s Open. During her time in high school, Kathryn helped lead her varsity to a regional title as only a freshmen. While acting has become the forefront of her focus at this point, finding her path between it and golfing was a tricky scenario that has ended with her primarily in front of the camera. And a Homebird at Heart: I’m 20, I still live with my parents. I’m really close to both of them and I hang out with them more than what is probably normal, but I think it’s okay. I play golf with my dad all the time. I just came home last night from New York to some freshly baked oatmeal cookies and three types of ice cream. Why would I ever wanna leave?

HISTORY
PVR MOVIES FIRST
This Month 14 Years Ago
PAGE 22
HISTORY Martin Scorsese’s “The Aviator” is a portrait of Howard Hughes, the rich, handsome and increasingly deranged man who made his greatest achievements in both aviation and film. Irresistible to scriptwriters and directors alike, his life was earlier portrayed in such films as The Carpetbaggers(1964), The Amazing Howard Hughes (1977) and Melvin and Howard (1980). The Plot: The Aviator follows a 20-year period of Howard Hughes’ life, toward steady and sad decline. He arrives in Los Angeles as a good-looking young man with a lot of money, who defies a scornful industry to make hit movies and eventually buys his own airline. By the end, darkness gathers around Hughes. He gets stuck on words and keeps repeating them. He grows phobic about germs. Those around him try to protect him, but he is too far gone. He was the world’s richest man, and with his billions bought himself a room he never left. AWARD-WINNING LINEUP: The film’s cast included four Oscar winners: Leonardo Di Caprio, Cate Blanchett, Anne V. Coates, and Martin Scorsese (who
This Month 14 Years Ago had a voice cameo in the film); and six Oscar nominees: Alan Alda, Jude Law, Willem Dafoe, Sir Ian Holm John C. Reilly, and Alec Baldwin. SET SECRETS: Four of the miniature airplanes used in creating the effects for the film are now on display at the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville, Oregon, home of the real Howard Hughes HK-1 “Spruce Goose”. Models on display include two of the biplanes from the Hell’s Angels (1930) sequence, most of the XF-11 model, and the motion-control “Spruce Goose”. The “Spruce Goose” model is remarkably detailed, and even includes scale puppets of Howard Hughes and Dr. Fritz. THEY SAID: “ Howard Hughes spent his last 20 years locked in a room watching movies. I went through a phase like that myself, movies all day long, all night long; my friends would say I was walking around with the Kleenex boxes on my feet again. Just like Howard Hughes.”- Martin Scorsese, Director ” My reasons for being a private person are different from Mr. Hughes, in that because I’m an actor and want people to believe me in different roles and not necessarily know way too much about me. I want to be around in the business for a long time, while he had an intense fear of being around people and germs.” - Leonardo DiCaprio, lead actor PREP TIME: In preparation for her role as Katharine Hepburn, Cate Blanchett learned to play tennis and golf, and took cold showers, for which Hepburn was known. To prep for his role as Howard Hughes, Leonardo DiCaprio spent some time with an O.C.D. patient named Edward, who advised him on several aspects of the condition, in particular, the tendency to repeat sentences over and over, as in the scene where Hughes repeatedly asks to see the blueprints for the Hercules. Kate Beckinsale gained twenty pounds for her portrayal of Ava Gardner.
