This is Not a Sports Film: Zendaya on her latest film 'Challengers'

Do the audience need to know about tennis to enjoy Challengers? Not at all. This isnt a sports movie. Its a complicated, sexy and interesting character piece. If you are a tennis fan, youll love it, but if you have no idea about the sport, you will still love it. What drew you to the film? It was just one of those rare times when I read a script, and just couldnt put it down. I just had to know what happened next. I loved my characterTashihow complicated she is and how much you have to question her decisions. Challengers centres on Tashis relationship with her tennis-star husband and his rival, who also happens to be her former boyfriend. Did you always know who she was going to end up with? No, but I was desperate to find out. I know now, of course, but every time I watch the movie, I question Tashis decisions a little more. Its a story about the choices we make, and the consequences of making them. Everyone will find themselves empathising with a different character, because everyone has their idea of who did what, and who the bad guy is. We see Tashi as a former tennis star, and also as a coach. How else would you describe her? Shes complicated, to say the least. Tashi is driven, a go-getter and ruthless in the way she goes after what she wants. Tennis is a metaphor for how determined she is because that is what you need to be in that sport. That will to succeed and win is what connects Tashi and her husband. They depend on each other and wield that same power over each other, which often ends up with one or both of them being hurt. Are you a tennis fan? I wasnt before making this movie, but now, I totally am. Its a fascinating sport. Mike Faist plays your husband, with Josh OConnor completing the love triangle. How was working with them? I loved it. I felt lucky to be partnered with those guys. And whatever the moment, it always felt like they had my back and I had theirs. We were also lucky to have a director like Luca Guadagnino, who encouraged us to collaborate and bring our own ideas. It was an exciting creative process. How did you meet the physical challenges of the role? With great difficulty (laughs) because I am not one of those people who love to work out. But, Tashi is supposed to be a top athlete so there was no getting around it. Josh, Mike and I worked hard every day, which made it easier for me, since there was a lot of laughing as well as working out. So, what is your sport if its not tennis? Im not sure I have one. I played basketball growing up. My dad was my coach, but I havent played since I was a kid. Im not very sporty. Apart from tennis, what did you learn from playing this character? The importance of knowing your own heart, and to not be too dependent on others to the point you are using them in some way, as Tashi is to a fault. Has making this movie made you an ace tennis player in real life? Absolutely not. I learned a lot about air tennis, and how to look like I know what Im doing, but Im not. What was the most challenging part of making this film? Definitely the playing tennis part. We wanted to represent the sport for what it is, and do justice to the athletes. So I gave it my best. We trained for six weeks, which was tough. None of us are actually tennis pros, of course, but hopefully we did a good job, and that actual tennis players or fans wont be too upset. Finally, why should people go and see Challengers? Because its as much a fascinating story as it is a roller-coaster journey. Also, the tennis is spectacular. I have never seen anything like it. Its a real popcorn movie, and Im proud to be a part of it.

Doomsday cult leader's fall exposed in Netflix's latest documentary

Pablo, a former member of Antares de la Luzs doomsday cult, who turned himself in, says that only when he saw the dawn of December 22, 2012 did he realise he had been living a lie for four years. He was not alone. The other awakened warriors felt, on occasions, that there was something weird about their cult led by Ramn Gustavo Castillo Gaete or Antares de la Luz, who claimed to be God. The latest Netflix documentaryThe Doomsday Cult of Antares de la Luzfollows the activities of this clandestine group, which left a trail after the trafficking of ayahuasca from Peru to Chile, and conducted a ritualistic human sacrifice, the first of its kind in the Latin American nation. This documentary depicts the beginnings of the cult and how it wasnt nearly as dark as it ended up being. Investigative journalist Vernica Foxley speaks of few members from before the inception of the cult, and explains why they gravitated togetherall of them were desperate for recognition. Being called warriors, who would save the earth on Judgement Day, by Ramn was all it took for this bunch with low self-esteem to proclaim him an incarnation of God. The narration alternates between accounts from the police and journalists and former members, including Carolina, Pablo and Natalia (whose child with Antares was killed after being called the anti-Christ). The film also looks at Ramns background. His interest in folk religions began when he was in a music band in the early-mid 2000s when he travelled to China. His cult, which had roots in Reiki, first focused on harmless meditation, but soon turned from the Oriental to the Biblical. Ramn soon develops a sexual relationship with Natalia, whose child he prophesied would bring the second coming of Jesus, and be born on December 18, 2012, three days before the apocalypse according to the Mayan calendar. But, when he had the child killed after dubbing it the anti-Christ for being born in November, the cult started to fall apart. Pablo recalls how Antares laughed when nothing happened on December 21, and said they had to wait till 2017 when the real apocalypse would occur. That was the final disillusionment for the members. The narration switches to real-time probe and court proceedings in 2013, where they are all pardoned for being under the influence of collective mind control. Antares kills himself in Peru. The film ends with the members bulldozing their once safe-house in Chile as an act of atonement. There is a lot unsaid about Antaress past though, and more information was certainly needed to truly understand him and his motivations. But, what the documentary does manage to establish is that bizarre cults emerge from simple human frailties, like a yearning to belong. That is something to think about. Film: The Doomsday Cult of Antares de la Luz Director: Santiago Correa Genre: Documentary Platform: Netflix Language: English Rating: 2.5/5

Against all odds: Malayalam director Chidambaram speaks on Manjummel Boys's success

Inspiration strikes in mysterious ways. For Malayalam director Chidambaram S Poduvals latest hit, Manjummel Boys, it was an innocuous story narrated by his producer friend Shawn Antony. A group of boys were on a trip to Kodaikanal. While they were visiting the Guna Caves (elevation: 2230 metres), one of them fell through a hole and plunged to a depth of 120 feet. When the rescue officials refused to take the risk of going down, one of the other boys climbed down a rope to save him. The tale triggered something in Chidambaram, making him visit them in Kochi about 16 years after he first heard the story. And as he listened to the first-hand account of the incident, the director knew it was film-material. His instincts were right for, Manjummel Boys has earned a whopping Rs 226 crore globally. Every village will have a bunch of mischievous brats who get into trouble. It is a survival thriller. This is a universal theme: a triumph against the odds. Also, Manjummel Boys is a visually told story. Language is not a barrier, the filmmaker says. It is, however, easier said than done. To ensure that the film resonated with audiences beyond regional boundaries, he did exhaustive research to recreate the sequence of events, the treacherous terrain, and the danger of it all. He started with visiting the Guna caves. It was too dangerous. I had heard many stories of people slipping through the holes, and nobody ever found their bodies, he says, adding that he was given a lemon by the forest guard to ward off negative energy. He recalls the smell of monkeys, dead bats, decomposing plants, and methane gas, the wet earth, and the plastic waste and food thrown by tourists. It has a psychological effect on you. There is also a cliff, which people jump off. The locals have dubbed it the Suicide Point. Murders have also taken place there, he adds. Following the visit, it took Chidambaram a year-and-a-half to gather his thoughts and pen down the script. The visit to the cave did two things for himit helped him visualise the peril that the Manjummel boys had experienced, and that the location was completely unsuitable for shooting. So, they recreated it from scratch. Needless to say it wasnt an easy task. We built a replica at a warehouse in Perumbavoor, about 38 kms from Kochi. For the frame, we used metal, and fibre for the rocks. The height was about 40 feet. We used VFX to create further height, he says about the set designed by Ajayan Chalissery. Chidambaram S Poduval That their recreation was close to authentic was validated by two senior technicians who, unaware of the purpose of the set, remarked how much it looked like the Guna caves. On further enquiry, Chidambaram found out that the men were part of the crew of Kamal Haasans 1991 film Gunaa, which was shot inside the caves. The second round of vindication came from Haasan himself. He arranged for the movie, which features a song from Gunaa sung by the actor, to be shown at the Tagore Film Centre in Adyar. He invited his friends, family and the Manjummel Boys team. I watched the movie sitting next to Kamal sir, and Santhana Bharathi (director of Gunaa), Chidambaram says. Manjummel Boys is only his second film after Jan. E. Man, and its success has been overwhelming, he admits. But, ask him if he feels any pressure over his next project, and he says, No. My attitude is to approach each film as if it is my first one.

Ram Gopal Varma ADMITS underestimating Hrithik Roshan's star potential before Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai

Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma recently shared on his YouTube channel that he, along with many in the industry, initially doubted Hrithik Roshan's potential for superstardom. He said, When I saw Hrithik Roshan, I didnt think he would become a star. Most of the industry also did not think, and because of this they didnt sign him. Before his first film Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai (was) released, nobody signed him. And once he became a superstar everybody is after him. RGV used this anecdote to illustrate the inherent uncertainty within filmmaking. He compared it to his own experience, stating, If I knew how to make a film and then I make Shiva, how do I explain how I made Aag? He implies that even with experience and planning, a film's success cannot be guaranteed. Coming back to Hrithik, his career trajectory has undoubtedly proven RGV's initial doubts wrong. He has delivered numerous blockbuster films like Krrish, War, Super 30, and many others. He was last seen in Siddharth Anands Fighter, which also starred Anil Kapoor and Deepika Padukone. Hrithik is currently busy with the shoot of War 2, a part of YRFs spy universe. Ayan Mukerji is donning the hat of the director. Meanwhile, south sensation Jr NTR will be seen playing the antagonist in the film. Speaking of the female lead, Kiara Advani will be sharing the screen space with Hrithik. The makers are yet to officially announce the release date of the upcoming film.
