The much-anticipated sequel to Disney Pixar’s 'Inside Out' made a triumphant return to theatres this past weekend, scoring a record-breaking opening at the global box office. After nearly a decade, fans of the Oscar-winning original are invited back into Riley's mind, this time, with emotions like Anxiety, Envy, Embarrassment and Ennui taking over from Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger and Disgust. Amidst the team that brought this 'emotional' film to life was Jahnvi Shah, who hails from Pune. The Animator, who served as the Characters and GT Production Coordinator for the film, got candid in an exclusive interview with ETimes, where she spilled the beans on her journey, setting emotions on a rampage and the challenges of revisiting the critically acclaimed franchise.
Janhvi, who has worked her magic on some major blockbusters like 'Wonder Woman 1984', 'His Dark Materials - Season 1' and 'No Time To Die', among many others, gave us an insider's take on the future of animation in the Indian film industry. While work may take her onward and upward, she remains a dedicated fan of Indian cinema, vowing to watch every Shah Rukh Khan movie, with recent additions like 'Pushpa' and 'KGF' also making her list.
