Mumbai, February 18 – Actress Divya Dutta recalled on Wednesday how the sets of the hit movie "Stanley Ka Dabba" were "without vanity or staff," and that her script was simply a 5th-grade English textbook. She further described the film as one of her most cherished projects.
In a post on her social media account, Divya reminisced about the making of the 2011 children's film and the fun atmosphere on set. She revealed that for her character, Rosy, the script was a mere 5th-grade English textbook, and that much of the film's magic unfolded naturally in the classroom setting.
She captioned the post as: "A film so close to my heart…where my director, @amoleguptacinema, offered me #Stanleykadabba while we were standing together in a crowded theatre watching the end credits of a children's film. What followed was an amazing journey, with the most raw and talented co-actors – the 10-year-old kids, and the magical #partho who played Stanley. I didn't know what these kids would throw at me, I just had to react!!"
She added, "The script was the 5th-grade English textbook for Rosy. The rest was magic created on the set – the tiffin boxes were shared amongst all of us in the classroom, there was no vanity or staff, just amazing quality time with everyone, and yes, the handsome @vidhyutjammwal opposite me!! I remember watching this film with my dear @sonunigam, and the audience stood up for a standing ovation when the film ended…"
The movie "Stanley Ka Dabba," directed by Amole Gupte, also starred Partho Gupte and Vidyut Jammwal in significant roles. The film revolves around a schoolboy who never brings a lunchbox, and the story that unfolds.
Divya Dutta has been a part of the Indian film industry for over three decades. She has proven her acting skills with powerful performances in films such as Veer-Zaara, Delhi-6, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Chaava, and others.
