Zoya Akhtar opens up on intimate scenes in Made in Heaven!
Recently, filmmaker Zoya Akhtar in a media chat revealed about the intimate scenes in her web series 'Made in Heaven'. This web series was hailed for throwing light on social issues. The series also deals with homosexuality. While speaking about the intimate scene in the series, director Zoya Akhtar revealed they intended to be straight up with it and avoid making it seem squeamish. Zoya was questioned about the aesthetically shot intimate scenes in ‘Made in Heaven’ in the Clubhouse session.
Zoya Akhtar revealed, “I think the first part of the process was intent. I think we didn’t want to be squeamish and we decided that we want to treat this as an extremely normal part of the process and part of someone’s life. Either it could be lovemaking or hooking up or just plain sex which is no strings attached… Whatever it is, we are going to do it in a way that it would be aesthetic, non-gratuitous and we have to be straight up with it. We have to be like, ‘This is it. Watch it. And if you are uncomfortable and you forward it, after four episodes, you stop forwarding it. Because you have to do it.’ That was the first thing - intent”.
Zoya specified that she along with all the four directors treated the intimate scenes like any other scene like a VFX scene, a song, or an action sequence. She told they broke down everything into angles and positions, where the actors knew exactly what they were doing so they didn’t come in saying they were uncomfortable.
