Shipra Arora’s next project is titled Jealous Friends (JF). The short film will start streaming soon on Content Ka Keeda, which is being run by her, and her brother Shivankar Arora, who is also the director of JF. Shipra talks about the film, where the idea came from and why she thinks the topic is relatable.
“Jealousy is a very strong emotion yet such an unnecessary one. Even when we don’t want to, we as humans try to compete, especially with the people we love. This short film was a reminder that competition can be healthy. I don’t think jealousy is an emotion to dwell on. One cannot achieve anything in life with jealousy. Irrespective of the fact that we all feel this, we should all work on ourselves to let this go, as nothing good comes out of it,” she says.
The film stars Arsheen Namdaar, Puneet Panjwani and Dhritika Singh in pivotal roles. Shipra praises the actors and shares that the team had a good time collaborating with the trio once again. She also says nice things about Shivankar.
“We have worked with all three multiple times. We know their temperaments. They are amazing actors. Also, Shivankar, my brother, co-creator, and director of the film, always finishes the schedule with such ease that it never feels like a task. He knows how to handle the set well,” she adds. Content Ka Keeda is constantly generating varied content. “Honestly, it has been a challenge as we are not a production house, we are creators. To achieve writing and making short films with a small cast and making sure we leave a positive message, in the end, is quite a task. But as creators, we love it and wouldn’t have it any other way. A lot more content is on the way. And, as we always say, we have just begun,” she signs off.
