Amyra Dastur: Manisha ma’am is so stunning in real life

Sanjay Dutt, Manisha Koirala, Jackie Shroff, Chunky Panday, Ali Fazal, and Amyra Dastur starrer Prassthanam will hit the screens on 20th September 2019. We recently met Amyra and spoke to her about the film and her experience of working with senior actors.


When we asked her how nervous or excited she is for the film, the actress said, “I don’t know, now I feel like whatever has to happen will happen. If it’s good the audience will like it and if it’s not good they are not going to like it. But, it’s actually hitting me now a little bit. Fingers crossed, that’s it you can keep hoping.”

When asked her if she has scenes with Sanjay Dutt, Manisha Koirala, and other actors and how nervous she was to work with them, Amyra said, “I think there’s more excitement when you get star struck. Manisha ma’am is so stunning in real life, I used to stand next to her and I was just staring at her.”

“With Sanjay sir and Jackie sir, you can see that their friendship is mind-blowing. They have this proper bromance going on and they keep cracking jokes. They are the actors who before a really serious scene or a dramatic scene they will be cracking the funniest joke and suddenly they are pointing guns and killing each other. Me and Ali (Fazal) were just crying of laughter and we were like we can’t take right now it’s too funny. It’s an experience and a dream come true seeing your bachpan ka hero in front of you,” she added.

Directed by Deva Katta, Prassthanam is a remake of a Telugu film of the same name. The original film was a hit at the box office and was also helmed by Deva Katta. Now let’s wait and watch what response the Hindi remake will get.

What Britain’s ban on strangulation porn really means and why campaigners say it could backfire

Highlights:

  • Government to criminalise porn that shows strangulation or suffocation during sex.
  • Part of wider plan to fight violence against women and online harm.
  • Tech firms will be forced to block such content or face heavy Ofcom fines.
  • Experts say the ban responds to medical evidence and years of campaigning.

You see it everywhere now. In mainstream pornography, a man’s hands around a woman’s neck. It has become so common that for many, especially the young, it just seems like part of sex, a normal step. The UK government has decided it should not be, and soon, it will be a crime.

The plan is to make possessing or distributing pornographic material that shows sexual strangulation, often called ‘choking’, illegal. This is a specific amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. Ministers are acting on the back of a stark, independent review. That report found this kind of violence is not just available online, but it is rampant. It has quietly, steadily, become normalised.
