| Pardon the pun, but on Monday, I hung out with Avengers' co-director, Joe Russo (okay, it was for exactly eight minutes). Russo, who's made four movies for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, spoke about the insane pressures of handling a tentpole production such as Avengers and what he does to keep his sanity intact. As promised last week, we have an interview with the filmmaker who isn't ruling out the possibility of Community the movie and a possible collab with Priyanka Chopra.
Closer home, the Modi propaganda movie starring Vivek Oberoi has been pushed to next week. I've been in touch with Oberoi, who's still on the fence for an interview (spoiler: I wasn't quite charmed by the trailer, who'd have thought!), but I might just get some face time with him this week.Watch out.Otherwise, it's been a rather quiet week, but a show I'd recommend y'all would be Ricky Gervais's After Life - a surprisingly profound series about grief. A piece of good news? Irrfan Khan, who was battling a rare form of cancer, has completed treatment and is back on sets of English Medium, the sequel to 2017's Hindi Medium.Love this newsletter, hate it? Write to me @aktalkies Joe Russo spoke about embedding social commentary in a vehicle of pop culture, retaining his sanity, and the possibility of a queer superhero movie."The fan base is huge and they’ve several expectations but if we go by that, we will end up taking really poor decisions. Because that’s what fear does," the director said. "It’s going to be hard, if not impossible, for such a phenomenon to be replicated." If there's one film that you must watch this weekend, make it Ashvin Kumar's No Fathers In Kashmir, a layered story about the consequences of war and militancy in the troubled valley.In a cinema-scape cluttered with quasi-propaganda movies that unabashedly celebrate the military, No Fathers in Kashmir offers a dissenting perspective.
