Kareena, Aamir Add Glamour To Red Sea Festival

The
fourth
Red
Sea
International
Film
Festival
saw
Bollywood
folk
add
a
lot
of
glamour
in
Jeddah,
Saudi
Arabia.

Kareena
Kapoor
Khan
looks
like
an
English
Rose
as
she
walks
the
red
carpet.

Kareena
will
be
a
part
of
the

In
Conversation
segment
on
December
6.

She
fills
out
an
Oscar
de
la
Renta
gown
perfectly.

Kareena’s
look
was
styled
by
Rhea
Kapoor.

Aamir
Khan
shows
the
world
the
beauty
of
Kashmir,
as
he
wears
a
shawl
from
that
state
over
a
black
kurta.

At
the

In
Conversation
segment,
Aamir
spoke
about
his
many
experiences,
including
producing
films.

The
Hollywood
Reporter
quotes
the
actor
as
saying,
‘I’d
seen
my
father
go
through
hell.
It’s
a
thankless
job.’
Still,
he
decided
to
produce

Lagaan,
as
he
felt
other
producers
would
not
do
justice
to
it.

‘I
was
afraid
the
producer
would
start
arm-twisting
the
director.
And
so
I
was
nervous.’

‘I
said
to
myself,
if
you
want
to
do
great
work,
you
have
to
take
risks,
like
the
people
you
look
up
to,’
he
added.

Emily
Blunt
discussed
her
career,
including

Oppenheimer
and
a
potential

The
Devil
Wears
Prada
sequel.

‘The
industry
can
be
hard
on
people.
You
need
a
helmet
for
it,’

The
Hollywood
Reporter
quotes
her
as
saying.

She
shared
that
‘I
was
quite
a
shy
kid’
with
a
stutter
but
creative
work
helps
as
‘an
unlocking
system.’
That
is
why
she
now
helps
children
with
a
stutter.

Blunt
discussed
how
she
approaches
roles,
saying
she
still
begins
off
confused
how
to
play
a
new
character
but
has
grown
to
like
the
feeling
and
challenge.

‘Every
time
I
am
scared,
I
probably
get
used
to
the
idea
that
I
get
there
somehow.
The
key
for
me
is
to
work
with
people
who
collaborate
and
are
open
and
interested
in
what
you
bring
to
the
table.’

In
discussing
her
experience
with

Oppenheimer,
Blunt
praised
Christopher
Nolan
for
being
so
collaborative,
which
she
noted
isn’t
typically
the
case
with
writers-directors
because
they
often
have
a
definite
vision
in
their
thoughts.
She
felt
‘he
has
changed
the
face
of
cinema.’

When
asked
about
the
‘Barbenheimer’ label
during

Barbie
and

Oppenheimer‘s
successful
box
office
run,
she
suggested
that
a
studio
hire
the
person
who
coined
the
term.

‘You
should
see
both,’
she
remarked
of
the
two
films,
praising

Oppenheimer
as
‘indelible’.

Blunt
also
lauded
the
amazing
skill
and
work
of
Cillian
Murphy,
whom
she
called
a
dear
friend,
and
Robert
Downey
Jr,
whom
she
said
she
also
loves.
The
actress
also
joked
that
Murphy
deserves
an
Imax
camera
pointed
at
him.

‘He
is
the
last
person
who
should
be
famous. He
is
so
crap
at
it,’
she
said.

Among
other
lovely
experiences
she
mentioned
Thursday,
she
recalled
an
early
stage
experience
with
Dame
Judi
Dench:
‘She
is
so
graceful
and
silly
and
warm.’

Asked
about
a
possible

The
Devil
Wears
Prada
sequel,
Blunt
said,
‘There
(are)
rumblings.
There
is
stuff
churning
around.
But
I
don’t
know
if
I
can
confirm
anything.
But
we
would
all
be
delighted.’

Working
with
her
husband
John
Krasinski
in

A
Quiet
Place
was
also
a
key
talking
point:
‘I
was
a
little
nervous
to
work
with
him.’

She
loved
the
script
and
found
it
unusual
with
a
simple,
intriguing
premise.
Blunt
initially
suggested
a
friend
for
her
role
but
the
friend
laughed,
and
the
star
ended
up
taking
it
on
herself.

‘The
reaction
was
crazy.
I
remember
it
was
like
a
rock
concert.
It
was
this
meteoric
thing
that
none
of
us
had
expected.’

When
asked
what
roles
does
she
look
for,
she
replied,
‘I
would
like
not
to
repeat
myself.
I’d
like
to
find
out
how
many
crazy
people
I
have
inside
of
me.

The
star
added
that
she
is
looking
for
‘unique
voices’
and
‘bold,
wild
ideas’
in
scripts
that
allow
for
real
world-building.
She
prefers
to
play
people
who
are
‘way
in
over
their
head’
than
characters
who
have
all
the
answers.

The
actress
emphasised
that
her
characters
have
at
times
been
especially
different
from
her
real
life,
noting
that
‘I
played
a
raging
alcoholic’
in

The
Girl
On
The
Train
when
she
was
pregnant.

Yeoh

gold.

Diesel

Smith
