Actor-filmmaker Karma Takapa, who rose to popularity with his portrayal of the shaman 'Dev' in the new web series 'The Last Hour', finds acting a more daunting process than filmmaking.
Karma, who graduated from the Film and Television Institute of India (Ftii) in Pune, specialises in direction and screenplay writing. 'The Last Hour' marked his debut in acting and on the digital platform.
"Acting is more daunting. I think it is a craft that I have studied and have learned and have practiced for a short period of time. It becomes more daunting when you are put in a position where you have to explore something that you are not really, let's say fully equipped…. That becomes more daunting," Karma told Ians.
He said the dynamics change when coming in front of the camera.
"When I am a filmmaker, I know what I am getting at and what I am doing.

"I am not worried about my image just because I shot some photos for Instagram. I think I still get the roles that I deserve and I have already carved a niche. I don't think I will be typecast," Raima said.

She added, "It's not that I will just be getting bold roles after this. That was not the idea of doing this shoot. The shoot was just -- there is a lockdown and nothing to do, so I thought that let me reinvent my image.

Mumbai, May 17 (Ians) Sanjay Kapoor has fond memories of shooting for his new web series "The Last Hour" in Sikkim.
"Not just the place, even the people of Sikkim are so good. They make the place special. They are kind and warm," the actor told Ians.
He has an interesting recall shooting for the show. "We shot amidst freezing cold weather in Sikkim and it was a tough shoot, but our shoot did not end there. After shooting under the freezing cold for 90 days in Sikkim, wearing multi-layered clothes including heavy jackets, we had to shoot under the scorching heat of Mumbai wearing the same clothes! I do not know which was more difficult, the extreme cold or the extreme heat. It was tough in Mumbai I guess because you do not sweat in Sikkim at all, and to maintain continuity we were not supposed to sweat on-screen! I remember...
