Actress Bhoomi Shetty opens up about her experience of working on Amazon Prime Video’s Ikkat
The Kannada language comedy film ‘Ikkat,’ which premiered on Amazon Prime Video last week, has been receiving an overwhelmingly positive response. Both the lead performers, notably Bhoomi Shetty – who marked her debut with the film, have been receiving a lot of appreciation.
Centred around a young couple almost on the verge of divorce are forced to spend their lockdown together at home. The story intensifies as it progresses, and several hilarious events unfold during the course of their stay together. Recalling the experience shooting for the film, Bhoomi said “Filming for the movie was a completely unreal experience, and unlike any other shooting experience I’ve had so far. The cast and the limited crew members had to stay in a house for the entire duration of the shoot owing to the Covid-19 restrictions” she said.
Reliving the experience of her first day shoot, Bhoomi opened up about a freak accident “It was during Day 1 of the shoot, and it was my first scene. I was required to throw a streak of objects at my co-star Nagabhushana for the scene. In about the second take, I really got into character and threw a sharp object at another actor who was in the scene with us, resulting in him bleeding profusely and sustaining a minor injury. It made me really nervous back then, but it’s a fun anecdote to mention and laugh about now” she said.
Bhoomi’s performance in the movie is being lauded by critics and movie audiences for being a refreshing and fun breath of air in Kannada cinema. A laugh riot, Ikkat is surely one of the best outcomes for a film based on the lockdown .
If you have not watched Ikkat yet, the movie is streaming now on Amazon Prime Video. Grab a bucket of popcorn and let the stars take you on a rib-tickling ride.
