TV stars Avika Gor and Manish Raisinghan stole our hearts
with their adorable chemistry as Roli and Siddhanth in Sasural Simar
Ka. Their chemistry off-screen is also loveable and they consider each
other BFF's and are also making short movies together.
Last year, their short film Ankahee Baatein was screened at
the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. This year too, the twosome will be
heading to Cannes Film Festival for the second time for their short
movie, I Me Myself.
What makes it interesting this year is their film's
on-the-spot entry to a pitch competition at Cannes that has put them on the
world map by getting selected in the top 20 from the entries received from 33
countries.
Avika told, "We got a mail from Cannes official
website for a pitch competition, we didn’t really take it seriously as we
didn’t really know what it would be, another mail mentioned that the
competitions are by and for Shorts TV which is one of the biggest platforms for
short films. We kept wondering that there will be many entries and obviously
from 33 countries which we just got to know, we were supposed to send synopsis
for the first round but Manish had a better idea that was the poster. He
designed the poster and sent the synopsis on it."
Manish told, "We were actually confident as the poster
is out of the box and something that brings curiosity and that’s what worked
for us. Being selected in top 20 is huge for us and now we are preparing for
the big final for presenting it in Cannes. We hope that we make India
proud!"
