    Starring Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Bachchan, Rajkummar Rao, Aditya Roy Kapur, Rohit Saraf, Fatima Sana Sheik, and Sanya Malhotra, Anurag Basu has managed to get an ensemble cast for his upcoming film Ludo. And the interesting part is that every story is infused with the house colours of the game. It will be interesting to see how four different stories will meet at the crossroads and what would be the repercussions of that.

    As we have seen in the trailer, Ludo is a genre-blending movie and every character has a story to tell. It’s not an easy task to have all genres in one movie and get so many actors on board. I got the opportunity to talk to Anurag Basu and Pankaj Tripathi as part of their movie Ludo’s promotions. 
    We talked about the characterization in Anurag Basu’s world, the trend of boycotting Bollywood movies, and much more. Here are the excerpts from the interview: 
    It’s not an easy task to narrate a story that is an amalgamation of many genres and Ludo does look like one. Also, in every movie that you have been a part of, all your characters have a backstory. What about Ludo? Do we get to see the same depth in the characters you have fleshed out for other movies?
    Anurag Basu: Yes, every character does have his or her own journey. They have a beginning, middle, and end of their journey. It was surely a difficult task as all the stories of these characters are of different genres. It’s a genre-blending film and you might be juggling between different genres and so many characters but the beauty is that it will look like one movie. You wouldn’t feel like you are watching four different films and that was challenging. It was fun and something new for me.

    A lot of people, after watching the trailer, have given the movie a tag of the comedy of errors. Do you agree with it?
    Anurag Basu: A lot of things have already been said about the movie but I feel that people should first watch it. The trailer is only supposed to excite you as it’s cut that way because you won’t get to know the story. There are some trailers where you get to know the story and then, you don’t feel like seeing the movie.
    Pankaj sir, after watching the trailer, I was excited to know more about your character. We have seen you as Kaleen Bhaiya and in Ludo, we are getting to see a very different sort of a goon with comic shades. How different was this?
    Pankaj Tripathi: This is quite different from what you have seen. I can’t really explain in words as you will have to see the movie to realize to know how different is it from Kaleen Bhaiya. It’s basically Anurag Dada’s hard work who has made this character so interesting. His behaviour and temperament are way different from the other characters that I have played on screen. He is unpredictable and you will surely enjoy it.

    So, there’s one dialogue in the trailer which I felt was relatable - Life Ki Fitrat Hai Lena, Toh Legi, Ab Yeh Tumpe Hai Ki Mooh Phulake Doge Ya Daant Dikhage. I want to know how you both deal with the negative circumstances in your personal life?

    Anurag Basu: Pankaj sir and I gel along because we think alike. I think we both smile and fight the negativity as it’s said ‘Life Ki Fitrat Hai Lena.’ 
    Pankaj Tripathi: Aap content nahi badal sakte toh context badal lo (laughs).
    Anurag sir, all the filmmakers who have worked with Pankaj Tripathi have always praised his easy-going nature.
    Anurag Basu: You know if you’re a genuine actor, everyone from the unit will like you. With Pankaj Ji, it’s not just me but everyone from sets used to smile when he was around and that’s a sign of a good human being.
    Pankaj Tripathi: Aaj kal mein bohot demand mein hoon, casting wale poochte hai. Let me tell you something, talent is secondary and easiness is primary.

    Anurag Basu: Dono ka package hai sir!

    Pankaj sir, in an interview, you had mentioned that people didn’t recognize you earlier but after Mirzapur, things have changed. Do you think now you’re an established actor and have reached a safe stage in your career or do you think this isn’t your destination yet?
    Pankaj Tripathi: Nahi yaar. I have not changed but time sure has changed. I don’t have the feeling of being established and I also don’t believe in these terminologies. I don’t get into this flamboyance at all as I just need my 8 hours of good sleep and bank account mein thode paise.

    Anurag sir, your characters are written in such a way that they seem like very thoughtful personalities. There are ups, downs, and also stability at the end of your character’s journey, there's always a message. What I also found interesting is that your characters produce a cathartic effect on the viewers. How different has your approach for Ludo been?
    Anurag Basu: I think that’s a sign of good storytelling as you give every personal journey an arc and here, everyone has an arc and everyone has their own realization. We, filmmakers, have this habit of taking a moral stand but my perception of a right maybe wrong for you, and in Ludo, what’s interesting is that we haven’t taken a moral stand.

    Pankaj sir, what was the reason for saying yes to the character Anurag Basu had created for you?
    Pankaj Tripathi: As you mentioned about the journey of characters created by him, I love the world he creates. He was always on my wish list. It’s the first time I am telling here that I used to visit a pandal near dada’s house every Dusshera just to catch a glimpse of him. I am happy that I am finally getting to work with him because I do love his work as a filmmaker.

    Anurag sir, in one of your interviews in 2018, you were asked about your journey as a cancer survivor and you answered it very beautifully by saying that it’s because of it, you’re able to create something new every time and it pushes to experiment with your work. Do you still carry this attitude because many people would struggle to move on from the negativity in their lives?

    Anurag Basu: Life is short so why not keep experimenting. When you keep trying something new every time, you genuinely feel like coming to the sets every day. If I start repeating myself, I will get bored. After Ludo, I don’t know what next and I thrive on it.
    In fact, I can sense a lot of positivity while I am interviewing you both. Did your sets too have these positive vibes?
    Pankaj Tripathi: Haan, haan! Let me tell you that we used to eat and talk a lot and whatever time was left after eating and talking, tab shoot karte the. Dada ke set pe, there are many Bengalis and I have a fascination for them because my wife is from Calcutta.
    Anurag Basu: Pankaj sir is our jamai raja!
    Pankaj sir, speaking of your wife, in one of your interviews you had said your love story was no less than a Bollywood movie as it was love at first sight. What does she have to say about your cinematic journey?
    Pankaj Tripathi: Sach batau, she says nothing and wo mujhe bhav hi nahi deti hai. Pehle bhi nahi deti thi aur ab bhi nahi deti. Na wo bhav deti hai and na hi main chahta hun so zindagi hamari bhavpurna chal rahi hai. Baaki sab badiya hai. (laughs)
    With ensemble casts, it does get difficult as every actor is of a different temperament. So, how difficult was it to get everyone on board and the same page?
    Anurag Basu: We had a lovely day and the best days were when we were shooting the combination of the stories, it used to be fun as all the actors were on board. After meeting people you tend to realize that it might be difficult working with them. Main uss gali jata hi nahi jahan mushkilat aayegi.

    When Ludo’s trailer released, people genuinely appreciated it and there’s a wave right now that people want to boycott Bollywood movies but it didn’t really happen with Ludo. Do you think it’s some sort of an achievement considering the current scenario?
    Pankaj Tripathi: It’s an interesting and also a very tough question to answer (laughs). I won’t say that it’s an achievement because we need both agreements and disagreements in the democratic setup. People have their own opinions. I would say jab tak swad nahi loge, how can you dislike or like it. I believe people should support good things, be it food or films. The choice should be yours, kisi ke prabhav mein nahi.
    Anurag Basu: Pankaj sir and I are examples of that people are not this harsh.
    Anurag Basu and Pankaj Tripathi concluded the interview on the note that they do wish people to enjoy Ludo as they have made the movie for entertaining them and can't wait for their reactions on 12th November.

    30-year-old Suryakumar Yadav had one of the best seasons in the history of his Indian Premier League career not only as a successful batsman but also a defending champion as well. 
    It took Yadav a lot of patience, the need to hold the fort for the team in the absence of an injured Rohit Sharma and some unwarranted sledging by someone who could have been his captain if the BCCI had not snubbed him out of the Indian cricket team for the upcoming Australia tour, to end the season as the 2020 IPL champion.
    A heart like Suryakumar Yadav #Respect

    — Mumbai Indians (@mipaltan) November 10, 2020 However, in the final against Delhi Capitals, SKY did that one thing that was required of him to prove his mettle as a team player. He sacrificed his own wicket to protect the other batsman who was having a better match on the given day (even though Yadav was in great form throughout the tournament). 
    As It Happened:
    Winning moment for Mumbai indians this trophy goes to the uncapped players like Ishan kishan and Suryakumar yadav pic.twitter.com/APSFimqoFc
    — JAGAHA (@JAGAHA_CRE) November 10, 2020 On the fifth ball of the 11th over, skipper Rohit Sharma knocked the delivery towards off and was overly eager to sneak a quick single. A safe-playing Yadav saw where the ball was going and yelled in protest. 
    However, Sharma had covered half the pitch and was basically in no-man's land by the time the fielder had caught the ball and was throwing it towards the wicket-keeper.
    Yadav’s quick thinking made him run out of his crease and towards the keeper while asking Sharma to safely reach the non-striker’s end to protect himself.
    As soon as the keeper ripped off the bails, Yadav quickly managed himself and calmly walked off the field while an angry but safe Sharma could be seen back on the pitch.

    “The kind of form he (Suryakumar Yadav) was in, I should have sacrificed my wicket for Surya. But throughout the tournament he has played some incredible shots.”Regardless to say, his selfless play, even when not facing the bowler, gained him a lot of dedicated fans who couldn’t stop praising the cricketer for giving up his innings for the greater good of the team.

    This time of the year is probably the most dangerous time for your skin. Why, you ask? Well, the Diwali pollution, together with the dry winter weather is not a nice combination for your skin. 

    Imagine being all dressed up for a festive party. Good clothes, stylish accessories but your skin somehow doesn’t look fresh enough. 
    Be it dry patches or acne, bad skin can be a huge pet peeve for some.
    Why worry when I have the ultimate solution for your skin. This skincare routine works like magic on my dry and sensitive skin. It keeps it moisturised, soft and glowing!
    I mostly start following this routine around the festive season and continue all through the winters. Try it out for yourself and see the results! 
    Step 1: Face Wash & Pat Dry It goes without saying that you need to wash and moisturise your face regularly. However, if you have dry and sensitive skin, stick to a gentle face wash. I use the MensXP Mud Face Wash for Normal & Dry Skin because it’s infused with honey. In case you didn’t know, honey is a magical ingredient for dry skin. Remember to pat dry your face and not rub too much (can cause skin inflammation and reactions). 
    __ECOMPRODUCT__127__
    Step 2: Vitamin Boost Clay Mask Now this is an occasional step. I use a face mask about twice in a week or just before a special occasion. This particular face pack is enriched with Hyaluronic Acid. This one ingredient is the one thing that every dry skin type should look for in his products. Be it a face mask, a moisturiser or a serum, this ingredient is a must. It provides intense hydration without any greasiness. Since my skin is prone to acne too, this is a great face mask to go for. 
    __ECOMPRODUCT__683__
    Step 3: Tea Tree Facial Oil A very recent and effective ingredient in my routine is the Tea Tree Facial Oil by Greenberry Organics. The oil adds an extra layer of nourishment to the skin. Make sure to massage it in gentle circular motion until fully absorbed. A facial oil works better for me than a regular moisturiser. Also, tea tree extracts have a very soothing effect on the skin. 
    Use this product for about a week or so and trust me, your skin will thank you for it! 
    __ECOMPRODUCT__356__
    Step 4: Anti-Pollution Cream With Shea Butter Next, I apply some face moisturiser. I choose this particular cream because it has anti-aging and anti-pollution skincare benefits. Since i already applied some facial oil, this lightweight moisturiser works wonderfully for me. The best thing about it is that it had visible effects on my skin. I could see my skin already glowing in the first few days. 
    You can use your own moisturiser too, just make sure it's not oil based. It can lead to excessive oiliness since we already applied a heavy facial oil. Also, if you shave often, the shea butter in it will smoothen the skin and prevent roughness on the shaved region. 
    __ECOMPRODUCT__860__
    Step 5: Lip Repair Balm Every winter skincare routine for men must have a good lip balm. No one likes chapped and dark lips and a good lip balm will help you tackle that problem. I would recommend this lip balm with Vitamin E, Almond Oil and Mango Butter. It not only moisturises but also forms a protective layer over your lips. It’s a bit heavy so I like to reserve its use only for the winters.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__358__
    Final Verdict: Easy & Effective Routine For Lazy Men! Being a lazy guy myself, I get it that you may not want to spend a lot of time and effort on your skin. Which is why, this short and simple routine is perfect for you. Trust me, winter skin care is very crucial. Dry and damaged skin can look very shabby. After all, you wouldn’t want to spoil all your dapper party looks.
