Team Moonfall open up on working with NASA

Roland Emmerich, Director, cowriter and coproducer of Moonfall said, “While shooting for the film, NASA supported us throughout, and as we have had a lot of space scenes, we had an astronaut on the set to help us out. We had a couple of questions and wanted to do things as correctly as possible. It is imperative that you at least go by the rules. We had NASA at the center of the whole film, which was very helpful for us.” The movie, which stars Halle Berry and Patrick Wilson in the lead, will be available on Lionsgate Play from 1st July 2022 onward after its theatrical run.

Ritvik Sahore-Gayatrii's experience on working in Ishq Express

Opening up on his experience of doing Amazon miniTV’s Ishq Express, Ritvik Sahore said, “Honestly, I always wanted to meet a cute girl on train but could only do it through this relatable series. Shooting in the train helped me relive those exciting moments before the pandemic struck. The series is also aspirational and effortlessly depicts the confusion, dilemma, and the impulsiveness which we all have had during our late teens. I think that people of all ages will resonate with ‘Ishq Express’. After all, love is a universal feeling,” while Gayatrii Bhhardwaj added, “It was an amazing experience with the entire cast and crew. My most memorable scene was at Marine Drive, where Tanya breaks down. It was really tough to emote such personal feelings in front of about 50 odd strangers at that time. I also had a lot of fun shooting in Kolkata, as I’ve never been to this city which has this old-school charm to it.”
