A special screening of "Yeh Ballet" was organised at the India Habitat Centre in the capital recently. Achintya Bose, who debuted as Asif in "Yeh Ballet," says, “I am filled with love and gratitude. It’s amazing to see that people would still come in to see this film that we put together four years ago. This movie is about dreams; I hope that resonates with people.”
Filmmaker Sooni Taraporevala, who presented the film, dedicated the evening to "Yeh Ballet" actor
Julian Sands, who passed away recently.
Achintya enthralled the audience with his surprise dance performance, choreographed by him with inputs from Urvil Shah and Purva Goel, before the beginning of the film.
Siddharth Roy Kapoor said, “It was incredible to watch the film, but what was even more gratifying was the fact that the audience here recognized and appreciated Achintya as a performer."
Writer and director of "Yeh Ballet,"
Sooni Taraporevala, said, “For 'Yeh Ballet,' he learnt ballet, breakdancing, and acting in a short period of time."
Renowned filmmaker
Mira Nair said, “The story of the film, which is a true story of pursuing one’s own dream, and to have Achintya now cross the ocean and become a professional dancer. This gives me great joy to be here and support him through his remarkable performance in this remarkable film. It dares me and encourages us all, especially the young people, to go with the impulse of their love and passion.”
