Varun Mehta, The talented animator has yet again scored a bulls eye at the Green Go International Festival in Europe. Not only his movie ‘Save trees’ won the Public Award but he also brought honours  for India as It was the only foreign country to have a participant winning from there. Now Varun is gearing up for the premiere of his sci-fi action documentary on kids ‘The Wonder Stone’. We had a small talk with the Ace short film maker and also two little wonders from his cast.

MyNews : Congrats Mr Mehta, It’s almost like you have scored a hat trick of performing wonders at the very end of the year for three consecutive years?
Varun : I am really thankful to God, My family, Friends, Relatives and Well Wishers. 

MyNews : How will you describe this year ?
Varun : It was kinda mixed, as from one side My Movies ‘Save Trees’ and ‘The Unknown World’ did extremely well and from one side I lost my beloved Uncle on the very opening of this year. But I know his blessings are always here to stay.

MyNews :  Did you ever expect your victory at Green Go Fest?
Varun : Honestly, No…Even though, my movie has been well received, I am quite aware of its flip side and I believe that might take a setback for it as well. But the love from the whole country has astonished me. It’s a victory for the whole Indians. But I believe Putting an Effort is more Important than Winning a award.

MyNews : Coming to ‘The Wonder Stone’. Has the date for the premiere been set or still it might get delayed again?
Varun : No Delays this time. We are having it on 28th December 2011.

MyNews : Any nervousness on the outcome for the film?
Varun : Yes because I don’t know how will people react, though the initial response has been positive. I expect the same after the release as well. It’s really tough to make a movie like this. Oh Boy – I don’t know how I managed it. And a theme like this takes a toll of your mind and soul. I have done everything from directing to editing…..It was really a tiring job but I had fun.


Over to Child Artists Arya and Umang who plays Namrata Joshi and Suraj Dutt in ‘The Wonder Stone’
MyNews : How does it like to be a superhero?’
Arya : It feels great, though I don’t think I would able to handle Namrata’s stone powers in real life and actually Namrata is not a superhero. She is just an ordinary school girl standing beside you.

MyNews : You must have got bored during the pre and post production as it took a lot of time.
Arya : No actually, Varun Sir made sure that we keep promoting the film throughout this time. We had done a music video, campaigns, and interviews.  We were constantly in news since a year.

MyNews :  Why an ordinary handicam was used for filmmaking?
Umang : Varun sir had a vision, that if we have to take the realism to the core, the film should be absolutely deglamourized.  It should be rustic and true to the environment. And a handicam is a best way to capture that.

MyNews : How are your friends reacting to your work?
Umang : They tease me a lot (laughs). They think I look funny in the movie But they do appreciate me as well.
The Wonder Stone shall be released online on Youtube on 29th December after the Movie’s Premiere on 28th December. Once Again Mynews Wishes Varun and his team all the best and also its readers a merry Christmas and a prosperous year 2012.

Mansi Sharma, Who plays Jyoti  Sharma in the upcoming Sci-Fi / Documentary ‘The Wonder Stone’ is with us today in a candid chit chat about her character and the movie which is slated to release this December 26th 2011.

What is ‘The Wonder Stone’ all about?
The wonder stone is an alien stone who gets discovered by six ordinary kids including me. And after what happens, you will watch in the film.

How are you feeling as the movie’s release about to hit soon?
The feeling is fantastic, and I am very excited and also happy the promos have arrived. It has great special effects and mind-blowing action.
What preparations you did for this role?

We didn’t have much time to prepare. We were given few things to revise the whole story and give our own inputs to the character. 
Most difficult scene to perform?

The scene where I get scared from the face in the wall. My Expressions had to be top notch and for that I had to rehearse a lot. It was tough and yeah, the train scene was also very difficult.

How was working with your team?
It was fantastic. Our Director Varun Sir (Varun Mehta)is very strict. He used to scold us a lot (smiles) but that was for our good because only then we could work out in such a great movie. And all the actors in the movie are my friends already. It was very nice to work with them.

What is your character about?
My character is about Jyoti Sharma, a shy, soft and demur girl who has a psychological problem. She is always feared by the face she sees in the wall in her house every day. My character is based on a True Story of a Real character whom I don’t know much about. 

Why should anyone watch the movie?
Nobody makes movies like this in our Country. This is a first move which will be liked by kids and adults alike. So everyone should watch this movie.

The 2D Animated Short Film ‘The Unknown World’ which is based on Female Foeticide,  After receiving a lot of applauses and appreciation worldwide shall be screened at PSA (Public Service Announcement) Film Awards 2011 at Don Bosco Arts Theatres Chennai. The Official Poster has been released by the festival organizers which have some best of the best chosen public service films for Screening and ‘The Unknown World’ successfully registers its name through it. The Film shall be screened on 30th September 2011 at Don Bosco theatres Chennai.
We have already seen a lot of Films on Female Foeticide in the past so how in terms of content this film differs from them. Animator Varun Mehta Who has also directed the film says, that even though the film is based on female foeticide, it has something new to offer. It doesn’t rides on blood and gore for high sensitiveness but instead on sentiments. He further elaborated ‘that the film takes an imaginative scenario where we are trying to show that every girl child has a world of her own in the mother’s womb and what happens when we try to destroy that World. ‘The Unknown World’ shall also have an online premiere at Video Gigantics ‘Youtube and ‘Vimeo ‘on 1st of October.
We also had a word with him on his upcoming projects especially ‘The Animated Series on Geet’ which is mounting high on people and gaining high attention followed by his long delaying sci-fi action documentary ‘The Wonder Stone’.  Varun said that he is happy with the response for the Animated Geet Series and he is planning to work and bring it on the table very soon.  The Wonder Stone shall also be released by November 14 on Children’day with a Grand Premiere.
