Writer Divy Nidhi Sharma on Chiraiya: `It was traumatic experience`

It took writer Divy Nidhi Sharma a year to write the Divya Dutta-starrer Chiraiya, which he describes as a “traumatic” experience. His next project, then, had to be light-hearted. Sharma shifted gears to write the mythological horror comedy Nayyi Navelli. He says, “Chiraiya was gut-wrenching. I feel that the audience watching [may] not be able to see it. [I had to put myself] in Arun’s shoes and imagine what would have happened. It was a traumatic experience. Nayyi Navelli was a fun project to write after the intense Chiraiya.” The Yami Gautam-starrer went on floors in April this year. “Nayyi Navelli is a very beautiful, charming film. It is in the mythology and horror space. But I would like to use the words beautiful and charming,” says the writer, who is known for crafting strong fema...

Dibyendu Bhattacharya on working with Alia Bhatt in Alpha: `She is a good actor`

Everyone had a funny line and comic timing down to the beat, but Dibyendu Bhattacharya’s character had to keep a straight face. So, while he was excited about joining Maamla Legal Hai 2, he was unsure how audiences would perceive his serious turn in Netflix’s madcap comedy. But since the second season dropped on April 2, the compliments haven’t stopped. “I didn’t understand how people would take this character because everybody is doing comedy except me. But now, I [feel] people have liked my character a lot. They didn’t expect such a twist,” says the actor, who plays a newly-appointed judge in the Patparganj district court. Alia Bhatt and Sharvari For Bhattacharya, the role may not have been big, but its layers made it tempting. “It was tough because I had to be precise as there is a c...
