Yes I was introduced to this name by the film #kantara.Loved the name.Loved the idea of coexistence and respecting #mothernature and living in harmony with it. It really inspired me. I was super intrigued by the name. A Kannada friend told me it means - " A mystical forest ".I am a #mystique and I believe in all things #mystical and my #home surrounded by nature would be something that exudes the same energy.I don't wish to live in Mumbai or any other city. #citylife is not for me.I wish to be in the lap of nature and that's what #kantara #myhome would offer me. #gratiude and only #gratitude"Actor Sunil Grover wrote on her post, "Congratulations!!!! Wowwwwwwww!!" Anupriya Goenka wrote, "How beautiful Kirti.. very happy for you!"Kirti grabbed the headlines earlier this month as she chopped off her hair.

I work in an industry where being a #heroine comes with its own set of restrictions and limitations.Long hair or atleast shoulder length hair is an unsaid mandate. Here I am , almost 15 years later, in the industry, #doingmything.I have no time to not do what I want to do... and each time I have done something which is not #thenorm , I have felt empowered and nothing short of it.Here I am , making another such choice and living my life #myway."

Angad Bedi, Kirti Kulhari to share screen space in 'The List'

17 Sep 2022

Angad Bedi will be seen sharing screen space with Kirti Kulhari in a short film titled 'The List'.On Wednesday, the two took to Instagram and shared the film's trailer.The intriguing trailer of the new short film gives a glimpse into the lives of a young couple in their early 30s. This couple, tired of their mundane routine and almost robotic life, reaches a point where they find themselves lacking emotions. However, a few decisions and unnerving turns in their monotonous life bring up emotions that have been buried in deep, dark corners. How do you think this couple deals with change, especially since they're so used to the status quo?Gaurav Dave has helmed the project."It was an amazing experience for me to work in a short film, which is completely different from shooting a full-length feature film. The realism of my character, the depth that is achieved in the story in such a short span, and the intricacies of daily life that have been portrayed are all elements that make this short film a masterpiece. Kudos to Gaurav (Director) and Roy Kapur Films for creating, presenting, and backing such an out-of-the-box, performance-driven concept. The film is also a commentary on how robotic our human lives have become and Gaurav truly believed that Kirti and I would be able to manifest this on-screen, he has a very big hand in helping us achieve this. I've to say that when I got a call from Siddharth Roy Kapur asking me to be a part of this story that had its unique realism and gravity, I was thrilled," Angad said.Created by Roy Kapur Films, 'The List' will premiere on September 22 on Amazon miniTV.

Kirti Kulhari launches her production house Kintsukuroi Films, announces first movie Nayeka under new banner

10 Jan 2022

Actor Kirti Kulhari has launched her own production house called Kintsukuroi Films, whose first project will be a dark comedy thriller Nayeka that she will feature in.She says, Starting a production house has been an organic thought that has stayed with me strongly for a couple of years. As an actor, the last three years have been very fruitful for me and have got me interested to widen my horizon and delving into other aspects of filmmaking. I now want to take a step further as I feel the urge to back great content and tell the world stories that are unique, rare, and heartfelt."The intention is also to create a more equal and collaborative atmosphere in the process of making a film. Unfortunately, a hierarchy does exist in the way things work and I would aim to bridge that gap, embrace and respect the talent brought to the table in all equality. The idea is also to create opportunities for the young talent.. be it writers, directors, actors, technicians," asserts Kulhari.Talking about the significance of the name of the Production house, Kirti expresses, Kintsukuroi is a Japanese word which means the art of mending broken pottery with gold. The idea behind this thought is that when something is broken, one uses gold to mend it, making it even more beautiful than its initial broken state.Similarly, with my production house, through the stories I aspire to tell, I wish to mend broken hearts and fill the emptiness in people's lives through the art of films. To produce content which kind of helps people heal their brokenness is the basic thought that went behind the name of the production house.On starting her journey as a producer with feature film Nayeka, Kulhari says, When Vashisht ( Producer) first brought the film to me last year, I was immediately on board as an actor and I can proudly say I couldnt have asked for a better start to my journey as a producer as well. The kind of content I choose as an actor is pretty much the content I would want to make as a producer too. Nayeka is a fun space for me to explore something Ive never done before. Its a fast-paced dark comedy thriller and comprises of very young, dynamic, and talented people coming together. Director & writer Ajaykiran Nair has done a wonderful job. A unique script such as this makes for a perfect beginning to my journey as a producer.Nayeka is a story of a struggling actress who gets caught in a crime by mistake.. followed by a cat and mouse chase further leading into a series of crazy events, reveals Kirti who started shooting for the film on 2nd Jan.Directed and written by Ajaykiran Nair, Nayeka is produced by Yatin Gupte and Sajid Melek's Ward Wizard Entertainment, Vashisht Upadhyay, and Kirti Kulhari's Kintsukuroi Films.

Shefali Shah, Kirti Kulhari, and Vishal Jethwa starrer medical thriller Human to release on Disney+Hotstar on January 14

28 Dec 2021

When dark secrets of the medical world are revealed, will the brave live to expose the truth or be consumed in a dangerous web of lies and deception? After a year of back-to-back successes with shows like Special Ops 1.5, Aarya 2, November Story and many others, Disney+ Hotstar kick starts the year 2022 with the launch of Human, a medical thriller based on Human drug trials in India. The series boasts of an absolute stellar cast headlined by National award-winning actor Shefali Shah and versatile actor Kirti Kulhari along with Vishal Jethwa, Ram Kapoor, Seema Biswas, Aditya Srivastava, and Mohan Agashe amongst others. The suspense thriller, Human, unravels unexpected secrets of the world of medicines and their effect on people with a gripping tale of murder, mystery, lust, and manipulation. Directed by Vipul Amrutlal Shah and Mozez Singh, the Disney+ Hotstar Specials series has been penned by Mozez Singh, and Ishani Banerjee. The forthcoming medical thriller drama produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah of Sunshine Pictures Pvt. Ltd releases on 14th January 2022 and will also be available on Hulu.The fictional series enunciates the collateral damage due to fast-tracked drug trials for financial gains in a gripping tale that involves innocent lives lost to greed. Touching compelling themes like the value of human life, medical malpractice, class divide, and ramifications of a fast-paced medical science, Human brings forth the greed to make money in a compelling tale of power struggles, secretive pasts, trauma, and murders.Talking about the series, producer and director Vipul Amrutlal Shah said, "Human delves into the complexities of human nature with a backdrop of the medical world. It explores the dark and twisted world of unethical human trials in a provocative yet real and gritty manner. It showcases aspects of the unknown medical world laden with suspense at every turn. Mozez Singh and Ishani Banerjee have done a wonderful job with the script and the incredibly talented ensemble star cast makes Human an exciting watch."Sharing his experience of working on the script of Human, writer, and director, Mozez Singh said, Human is a series that deals with a very unique take on life and death. It questions the value of human life and the extent human beings will go to run away from their grief, guilt and shame. The repercussions of this can have extreme effects on the lives of the people involved, creating escalating drama and conflict between all of them and allowing the narrative to be truly explosive, especially when you throw in the barriers of class into the mix. Getting to explore all of the above with my co-writer Ishani Banerjee and the rest of the writers room was a true honour and I'm extremely grateful to Sunshine Pictures for giving me the opportunity. This was an intense project for me as it has several elements that resonated with me. On a personal level and therefore I was constantly inspired and determined to give my best. Im proud of what we have delivered.Actor Shefali Shah, who is playing the lead character of Dr. Gauri Nath, in the series said, Human as a series is extremely relevant and relatable in todays time. When I read the script, I couldnt help but imagine our current scenario, a world of hospitals and vaccine trials. It makes one question humanity and everything that transpires to keep it intact. Gauri Nath is someone you rarely come across. Its one of the most complicated characters Ive ever played, and completely out of my comfort zone. She is unpredictable and indecipherable. Human is a Pandoras box of emotions, actions and consequences. And youd never know what hit you from the dark depths of its complexities.Actor Kirti Kulkarni, playing Dr. Saira Sabarwal in the series said,It has been an absolute pleasure and thrill to play the role of Dr. Saira Sabharwal. It's the first time that I am playing a doctor on screen, a world that I am not completely unfamiliar with as my sister and brother in law are doctors. I did get a lot of insight by speaking to both of them and other doctors. During that phase, I would get into a conversation with whichever doctor I met which could help me with my character. Apart from that, Human is such a layered and complex story, it immediately pulled me towards it. Also the fact that Shefali Shah would be a part of the same show with me, really excited me. She is someone I really look up to and I have truly enjoyed her work as an actor and I was thrilled to share screen space with her. The show also has other wonderful actors and I also met a psychologist to discuss some aspects of my character. I basically got into the mindsets and world of the doctors, speaking to various people and understanding various aspects of how they function in the workspace and outside of it. It's the first time I am playing a doctor and it's a thrilling experience, my fans too are going to really enjoy my role of Dr. Saira Sabharwal. Super excited for Human.

25 Jan 2021

Filmmaker Vipul Amrutlal Shah has ventured into the web space with a new medical thriller show titled Human. He says the show is not about Covid but highlights medical trials that have taken place across the world for decades now. The show stars Shefali Shah and Kirti Kulhari and is directed by Shah and Mozez Singh."This project was in the works for almost three and a half years now, and back then we didn't know about the virus and the vaccine. It took us a long to write because we have tried to simplify the process of human trials of vaccines in a way that the audience understands. Today, everyone is aware of what drug trials mean," said Shah.One wonders if the show is set against the backdrop of the coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent journey of finding the vaccine and Vipul clarifies that its not set in todays time. Its not about coronavirus, but about medical trials that take place across the world for decades now. This touches a topic thats very big for humanity and the problems with drug trial is not a recent phenomenon. Its a very important subject for the society, he avers.Having come from a theatre background, Vipul made his debut as a director in 2002 with the thriller, Aankhen featuring Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Sushmita Sen, and Paresh Rawal. Since then, he has made family dramas and romcoms. And with Human, he gets back to the thriller space.The filmmaker said that the show touches on a topic that's big for humanity and the problems with drug trials are not a recent phenomenon. "Its my dream project, he beams, and adds, I used to do this kind of stuff in theatre, and with Human, I am connected back to the roots. It's a first for me on the webspace and it's completely opposite of what I have in 20 years of my Hindi film career," the filmmaker said."It's an interesting combo to play these author-backed roles. It's a new space for both Shefali and Kirti, and you haven't seen them do something like this before," said Shah, about the characters in the series.He adds that the show has helped him to connect with his roots all over again. The show went on the floors in Mumbai on January 21, and the filmmaker is gearing up to call it a wrap within a month. Mozez Singh, who is one of the many writers on board the show, is also co-directing Human with Vipul, and production is done by Sunshine. Its gearing up for a digital premiere this summer.
