Nikkhil Advani is being appreciated for the second season of 'Mumbai Diaries'.The latest season, which stars Mohit Raina, Konkona SenSharma, Ridhi Dogra, Shreya Dhanwantary, and Natasha Bharadwaj, is set around the backdrop of the 2005 Mumbai floods.Recalling the latest season's shooting experience with Konkona, Nikkhil Advani said, "We had quite a shooting experience this season, it was surely a dangerous thing. The production design of the set had scaffolding everywhere, and one of the particular scenes involved Konkona being trapped in a room flooded with water." "To ensure that she had something to hold onto, we literally strapped her to the scaffolding kept in the room. And while we were inside the room, shooting and filling it up with water, we didn't realize the amount of pressure it was exerting on the walls. We had to jump out of the set as the walls were beginning to give away. All in all, it was all cool and full of adventure, surely making it a fun shooting experience too," he added. 'Mumbai Diaries Season 2' is streaming on Prime Video.

Shruti Pathak shared her experience of working as a music composer in the upcoming film 'Dhak Dhak'. She said, "Music is an integral part of my life. Be it singing, writing, or composing. Like how most of the artists in the West write their own music and songs. It's a creative process and an important one for every artist. I've written some of my songs like 'Paayaliya' from 'Dev D' or 'Shubhaarambh' from 'Kai Po Che!'. Likewise, composing comes to me naturally too. And especially when 'Dhak Dhak' fell into my lap I couldn't resist taking up the challenge." She opened up on how it was to sing and compose music for two songs in the upcoming film."It was an absolutely unique experience. I have composed my singles in the past but to compose for a film is a different ball game altogether. Here you have to compose keeping in mind the brief and the vision of the director, the storyline, the situation, and the characters. Independent music you create music that reflects you and your ideas but film music is a tough nut to crack because it's someone else's story you are telling through the song. Hats off to all the composers who do it so brilliantly and flawlessly," Shruti added. Pathak is known for singing Mar Jaawaan' in 'Fashion' to the emotionally charged 'Tujhe Bhula Diya' and 'Aas Paas Khuda' from 'Anjaana Anjaani', among others.
