Actor Sayani Gupta signs a short film with writer of Salman Khan starrer Kick

“When Hussain called me saying that there was this short he wants me to act in along with him and told me the premise, I was immediately hooked. Then I read the script and it was quite thrilling honestly. Also it was a perfect piece for two actors and had a lot of scope for trying out something totally new and fun. Hussain and I have been great friends and have been wanting to collaborate ever since Margarita. I met Keith, the director and immediately loved him. He is a great writer but also an amazing guy. It was a small shoot over two days in an apartment in Dadar and we had a great time collaborating. This is why I love shorts, it gives you the scope to try out something new and unconventional without putting too much at stake. It’s a great medium to tell short stories which could have a long lasting impact,” said Sayani Gupta on her upcoming film.

Keith Gomes’ first short film, Child’s Play was screened at the prestigious Cannes Short Corner, a section of the Cannes film festival that features only short films.
