Shakun Batra and Ratna Pathak Shah at the inaugural session

Soon after the first session, Jain and her team knew who they wanted for the second edition. "The idea was to bring two actors from completely different backgrounds, with different journeys and bodies of work. Artistes who had individually played strikingly different characters on screen, but who shared the same passion and love for cinema! Radhika Apte and Vicky Kaushal fit this beautifully," Jain shares. Kaushal has transformed from Masaan to Uri spectacularly. Apte, meanwhile, ferried from the film industry in the South to become a part of the indie cinema clique, slowly adapting herself to the web series module, and even bagging international projects. Their journeys are diverse.

At the session, the actors will share their stories, anecdotes and challenges, too. "The entire team was on board with this choice from day one. This session is ideal for budding actors looking to be inspired and to find out that there is a long way to go if you want something. And that you must do everything, leaving no stone unturned to achieve it," adds Jain.
