Mumbai— Actress Isha Koppikar, a longtime supporter of new talent, has once again demonstrated her commitment to encouraging young artists by collaborating with film students from Subhash Ghai’s prestigious Whistling Woods International Academy.
Koppikar has lent her seasoned presence and star power to the students’ diploma project, a film titled ‘Rocketship,’ helping them bring their creative vision to life.
“When the students approached me, I didn’t hesitate to join their project,” Koppikar said. “These kids have immense potential, which was evident the moment they narrated the story and script. I relate to them because they are starting from zero, just like I did. I didn’t have a godfather in the industry. So, when I see them embarking on their dreams, it’s an inspiring and gratifying experience for me.”
The first poster for ‘Rocketship’ was released today, suggesting an emotional and heartwarming story unlike any other. The film centers on a powerful mother-daughter relationship, with Koppikar’s character specifically crafted to resonate deeply with audiences.
As a culminating project for the Whistling Woods students’ academic journey, the actress’s involvement elevates the production and provides the students with invaluable real-world industry experience. Her participation highlights her belief in the importance of mentorship and practical learning for the next generation of filmmakers and storytellers.
Koppikar’s role goes beyond just acting; it symbolizes a beautiful collaboration where her experience guides young minds, and in turn, their fresh perspectives and innovation inspire her own creative journey. This blend of established and emerging talent creates a learning environment where traditional filmmaking knowledge and modern storytelling techniques enrich each other.
As ‘Rocketship’ moves toward its release, the film stands as a testament to the students’ talent and Koppikar’s emotional performance, showcasing the power of collaboration and the importance of veteran artists in shaping the future of Indian cinema.
