Mumbai 16th August : On the day that the media were invited to an event to see a film of his directorial debut, Dobaaraa, a mystery-drama Anurag Kashyap did what Aamir Khan is famous for — inform the world that he’s still close with the women he divorced from.”Dobaaraa” is set to get its big screen release on the 19th of August. Kashyap posted a photo of joy on Instagram of him with his ex-wives: Aarti Bajaj the film editor who he was married to from 2003 between 2003 and 2009 and Kalki Koechlin the actress and writer who made her Bollywood debut with his 2009 film “Dev D”.He said they were his “two two pillars” to which his daughter Aaliyah replied with one word that was apt: “Iconic”.
Kashyap as Aaliyah revealed to the world, enjoyed an enjoyable Brunch on Sunday with Aarti who happens to be the editor of Dobaaraa and has been in contact with her ex-husband from the time he created his first film , the short thriller “Last Train to Mahakali which was commissioned by Star Plus — in 1999.In the numerous projects they’ve worked on, “Sacred Games” is the most well-known recent collaboration.
Kalki has recently collaborated with Kashyap in the second season of “Sacred Games”.They were married in 2011 but split in 2013 before getting separated in 2015.
After that, Kalki married her Israeli boyfriend, Guy Hershberg, and in 2020, they welcomed their daughter, whom she named Sappho.She has written about her experience of being pregnant and becoming a first-time mother in her hilarious bookentitled “The Elephant in the Womb’.
Another of Kashyap’s ‘Sacred Games collaborators, Kubbra Sait, meanwhile made use of Twitter to write an euphoric review of “Dobaaraa,” calling it “a crazy madddddddddddddddddd”.
Kubbra wrote: “It’s crazy .and completely blew me out of the water with an engaging storyline and the actors.The film kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end.”
Are they going to be able to predict how audiences will react to ‘Dobaaraa’ in an era when Aamir Khan’s highly-hyped ‘Laal Chaddha’ didn’t draw audiences even during the weekend of a holiday? And will it bring to an end main character Taapsee Pannu’s long lull on the box-office? According to the saying the time will only reveal.
