Is Kunal Kapoor- the Indian Ashton Kutcher?

 

The dashing Kunal Kapoor has been in the limelight for his dapper looks and amazing acting prowess. He received a lot of appreciation for his performance in his latest film ‘Kaun Kitne Paani Mein’.

In fact, New York Times referred to him as the ‘Indian Mathew McCougnahey’ But we think if he has to be compared with a Hollywood counterpart – he would be more on the lines of Ashton Kutcher.

Like his Hollywood counterpart, besides being known as a phenomenal actor, he is also known as an entrepreneur and a startup investor. Kunal is the co-founder of Asia’s largest crowdfunding platform ‘Ketto’, besides having invested in a number of start-ups which he is closely associated with. He is spotted speaking at tech conferences, as much as he is at film functions.

Well, from what we hear from our sources, it’s said that he has become the ‘go to guy’ amongst his film friends that are looking to invest in startups.

Onir discovers Arpita Pal for Shab

Onir’s upcoming romance-drama, Shab will introduce Bangla superstar Prosenjit’s wife Arpita Pal as the female lead. The movie also starring Raveena Tandon will transform Arpita’s traditional Bengali beauty’s image into a hip South Delhi socialite.

Interestingly, Onir had visited Prosenjit’s place in Kolkata for a script narration and while discussing the same, he came across Arpita and was fascinated by her look. The National award winning filmmaker spoke to Prosenjit about her who was later introduced to him.

While Onir had started working on the script of Shab, he felt that Arpita fits perfectly for the role of a socialite in his movie. Arpita heard the script and liked it but the only concern for Onir was that her character needed to sport boy cut hair and Arpita had long hair. He convinced her to cut her hair short as he didn’t want her to use a wig. Arpita was convinced and she bagged the role in Shab.

Set in Delhi, Shab is an edgy, dark and complex relationship story revolving around three central characters played by Raveena Tandon, newcomer Ashish Bisht and Arpita and will release next year.  

 

Onir says, “The first time I saw Arpita, I was quite fascinated by her sensuous and good looks. After giving it a thought, I realised Arpita is apt for the role, but I wasn’t sure whether she’ll agree to do the movie or not. I’m glad I got Arpita on board for Shab.”
