Anupama Chopra launches ‘Tape Cast’ web series

Film critic Anupama Chopra says that a new web series, Tape Cast, will allow viewers to see the real struggles and failures of celebrities and how they overcome it.

“My take away from the Tape Cast conversations has been the sort of challenges the artists face, their struggles; we only see the glamour and the glory, but Tape Cast allows us to see their real struggles and failures and the way they overcome that. So, it is about real people who have excelled, teaching us how to excel and fly beyond,” she said in a statement.

“Tape Cast is actually Tanmay Bhat’s [of AIB-fame] idea... All my life I wanted to just eavesdrop on artists and I feel like this is what Tape Cast does. It allows us to just listen to them talk to each other without somebody else sort of asking questions in that intrusive way,” she added.

Each episode opens on an inquiry, from money and family to love and life.

The celebrities interviewed so far include Shahid Kapoor, Rajkumar Hirani, Sonam Kapoor, Masaba Gupta, Rajkummar Rao, Farah Khan, Anurag Kahyap and Kalki Kochien.
