Crew actor Trupti Khamkar says she was asked to finish 12 hours worth work in 30 minutes after Kareena Kapoor, Tabu left sets: ‘Co-actors won’t give you cues’

Trupti Khamkar played the role of a cop in the recently released film Crew, which stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Kriti Sanon and Tabu in leading roles.

Actor Trupti Khamkar spoke about the challenges she faced while shooting Crew.

Actor Trupti Khamkar, who was recently seen in Kareena Kapoor, Tabu, and Kriti Sanon starrer Crew, spoke about her experience during the shoot of the film. Trupti said that she was expected to finish the work assigned for a 12-hour shift in just 30 minutes and her work only started after the lead cast left the sets. Trupti mentioned that she was there to give cues to her co-actors throughout the day but at the end of the day, when she had to give her shot, there was no one to give her cues.

In an interview with Zoom, Trupti shared, “When you are working with a star cast, it is obvious that first their work will be done, and they will go home. Then your work will start. So many times, it used to happen that in a 12-hour shift, all the cameras were on them. I was standing there giving them cues and then they would leave. Then there would be the last half-hour of the shift left, and I was told, ‘Trupti, how much work has been done today for the film, do it in half an hour.’ Then I was like, ‘Alright, I’ll do it’.”

Trupti said that after working in Crew, she believes she can take on any challenge. She said that she had to be alert as to how the scenes were being shot during the day so she could give an appropriate reaction shot when it was her time to shoot. “I think that was a great learning process. I have a masters degree in theatre, but that learning won’t help. The training you receive on set is different. You have to keep an eye all the time on which scenes you are in throughout the entire day. Co-actors won’t give you cues. You have to see how the other people delivered their lines and then decide how you have to reply to them in the same way. After Crew, I feel like I can work on any challenging set because I have been trained through this film for it,” she said.

ED arrests Biswal Tradelink’s MD in fake bank guarantee case, to confront him with Anil Ambani

55 min ago

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested Partha Sarathi Biswal, managing director of Biswal Tradelink Private Limited (BTPL), in connection with an alleged fake bank guarantee case. “A probe has revealed that BTPL fraudulently arranged and submitted fake bank guarantees of Rs 68.2 crore along with forged State Bank of India (SBI) endorsements and fabricated confirmations for a Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) tender. For providing this bank guarantee, BTPL received Rs 5.40 crore from Reliance Power Limited,” an official said. Seven days after searching multiple locations in Mumbai linked to Anil Ambani, the ED has summoned the industrialist on August 5 to join the investigation into a money laundering case linked to a multi-crore bank loan fraud involving companies of the Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group. The ED has also issued a lookout circular (LOC) to prevent him from travelling abroad. BTPL was one of the companies where the ED recently conducted searches. Biswal's arrest was made on August 1 and he was produced before a Delhi Court, which sent him to their custody till August 6. "We are planning to confront him with Anil Ambani during questioning and will try to verify some facts," an official said. The ED has initiated its investigation against BTPL based on an FIR registered by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW), Delhi Police, against the firm, its directors and others, for allegedly providing a fake bank guarantee which was submitted to SECI. “During the investigation, the ED has collected several pieces of evidence and they confirmed the use of fake documents in the name of certain banks and fake email IDs in the name of SBI. Probe has also revealed that BTPL, a small company incorporated in 2019, maintained multiple undisclosed bank accounts and carried out transactions disproportionate to its declared turnover. Many violations of the Companies Act are found, and no statutory records are found at registered addresses, such as books of accounts, shareholders’ registers, etc,” the official said. The probe also revealed that dummy directors were used solely to sign documents, and found at least seven undisclosed bank accounts of the company. “Proceeds of crime, of crores of rupees, have been traced to these accounts,” the official added. A spokesperson for Reliance Power said the ED case related to a bank guarantee. “The company and its subsidiaries acted bona fide and have been a victim of fraud, forgery and a conspiracy. The company has made due disclosure on this to the stock exchanges on November 7, 2024. A criminal complaint in this regard has already been lodged with the Economic Offence Wing of Delhi Police against the third party on October 16, 2024. The due process of law will follow," said the spokesperson.
