Shoojit Sircar Wondered How Coronavirus Would Impact The Filming Of Intimate Scenes On Screen And Dia Mirza Has An Interesting Take On It
Now that I have a lot of time on my hands that I still don’t know what to do with and desperately wish we could somehow bank it for later when life goes back to normal and we need to voluntarily stay in sleeping, I also seem to have a lot of thoughts running in my head. Apart from the daily struggle to find new memes on internet and helping mom decided what to make for dinner this time, one thought that often has me deeply engaged is how when things would go back to the way they were, how it’s going to be. Are we going to keep people at a distance, will work dynamics change? This is clearly something filmmaker Shoojit Sircar is thinking about too.
In a recent Instagram post, filmmaker Shoojit Sircar gave us all food for thought, after he penned down some important thoughts concerning with life after corona. Being his candid self, he wrote, “How the cinema world conducts shooting intimate scenarios in the film to be seen and planned, after all this is over. Especially the intimate kissing/hugging scenes. How close or how far.. or cheat story telling in those intimate scenes for sometime.”
Having been spit balled into this situation of panic and chaos, as we have all been subjected to a social exile courtesy to coronavirus, we can’t help but think of the kind of impact it would have on what we used to once call normal. Intimacy topping the list. And that is perhaps exactly what the Piku director meant to question, for the last thing anyone needs is an infected cast and crew on their hands.

Indulging in the wonderment, we had actress Dia Mirza, who too took to social media to share her two cents about the topic. She wrote, “Guru, the entire process of making a film is intimate! So many people all coming together to create moment after moment in unity and synchronised effort. Aap intimate scene ki baath kar rahe ho, how will all that change? Will we be masked and gloved as a crew? Only time will tell.”
Netizens too shared advice and insights directed at Shoojit, some of which called for a comeback of the ‘two flowers brushing on camera’ kinda gimmick. A user wrote, “Probably all the actors involved would be asked to go through a medical test first,” while another one said, “”How will the industry shoot at all, if they ban gatherings of 50 or more people?” Another user wrote, “I think time has come for virtual intimacy till we find corona vaccine.” Is the industry going to go free of intimate scenes on screen or find loop holes into still filming those, we are yet to find out. But if one thing is for sure, it is that whether or not we come out of this fine, we are definitely coming out with a phobia for physical human interaction again!
