At the In Conversation segment, Aamir spoke on his many experiences, including producing films.
He revealed to an Hollywood Reporter that he had seen his father go through hell.
It’s a thankless job. Yet, he decided to produce Lagaan, as he felt other producers would not do justice to it. He was afraid that the producer would start arm-twisting the director. And so he was nervous.’
He said to himself, if you want to do great work, you have to take risks, like the people you look up to.
Actress Emily Blunt discussed her career, including Oppenheimer and a potential The Devil Wears Prada sequel.
‘The industry can be hard on people. You need a helmet for it.
She shared that she was quite a shy kid’ with a stutter but creative work helps as ‘an unlocking system.’ That is why she now helps children with a stutter.
Blunt discussed how she approaches roles, saying she still begins off confused how to play a new character but has grown to like the feeling and challenge.
‘Every time she gets scared, she probably gets used to the idea that she need to get there somehow. The key for her
is to work with people who collaborate and are open and interested in what you bring to the table.’
Amid discussing her experience with Oppenheimer, Blunt lauded Christopher Nolan for being so collaborative, which she noted isn’t typically the case with writers-directors because they often have a definite vision in their thoughts. She felt ‘he has changed the face of cinema.’
On the ‘Barbenheimer’ label amidst Barbie and
Oppenheimer’s successful box office run, she suggested that a studio hire the person who coined the term.
‘You should see both,’ she remarked of the two films, praising Oppenheimer as ‘indelible’.
Blunt also lauded the amazing skill and work of Cillian Murphy, whom she called a dear friend, and Robert Downey Jr, whom she said she also loves. The actress also joked that Murphy deserves an Imax camera pointed at him.
‘He is the last person who should be famous. He is so crap at it,’ she said.
Among other lovely experiences she mentioned Thursday, she recalled an early stage experience with Dame Judi Dench: ‘She is so graceful and silly and warm.’
Ovet a possible The Devil Wears Prada sequel, Blunt said, that there (are) rumblings. There is stuff churning around. But she doesn’t know if she can confirm anything. But we would all be delighted.’
Working with her husband John Krasinski in A Quiet Place was also a key talking point: she was a little nervous to work with him.’
She loved the script and found it unusual with a simple, intriguing premise. Blunt initially suggested a friend for her role but the friend laughed, and the star ended up taking it on herself.
‘The reaction was crazy. I remember it was like a rock concert. It was this meteoric thing that none of us had expected.’ On her roles she would like not to repeat herself but likes to find out how many crazy people she has inside of her.
The star went on to add that she is looking for ‘unique voices’ and ‘bold, wild ideas’ in scripts that allow for real world-building. She prefers to play people who are ‘way in over their head’ than characters who have all the answers.
The actress emphasised that her characters have at times been especially different from her real life, noting that ‘I played a raging alcoholic’ in The Girl On The Train when she was pregnant.
