Off The Block

It was a sweet homecoming for Delhi girl Swara Bhaskar,25,as she turned up at the India Habitat Centre (IHC) on Thursday for the screening of her debut film,director Jai Tank’s Madholal Keep Walking. The Amaltas auditorium was packed with Bhaskar’s friends and well-wishers who trooped in for the two-hour screening,organised by her family,a defence analyist. “My parents thought it would be nice if I could attend the screening too,so I decided to come at the last minute. That explains the last minute rush from the airport,” smiled Bhaskar,dressed down in a pair of jeans and unfussy top. She caught up with her co-actor Subrat Dutta and co-producer Ajay Gehi at the IHC. “The problem with most small budget films is that it is difficult to find a distributor. I am quite glad that the film is being released now. More than 50 per cent of the films I know about are still stuck in the pipeline. Anusha Rizvi was lucky to have support from Aamir Khan for her Peepli live ,” said Bhaskar.
