The team of Blink, an independent hit Kannada Sci-Fi thriller, join for their first UK Interview. In conversation with debutant producer Ravichandra AJ, first-time director Srinidhi Bengaluru and prominent actor Dheekshith Shetty (of Dashara fame).
Blink is inspired by the Greek play Oedipus Rex, translated into Kannada by P Lankesh as Dore Oedipus, along with a couple of time travel stories. Blink is a riveting sci-fi thriller that seamlessly intertwines the complexities of time travel, taking audiences on a journey through the corridors of time, between 1996, 2001, 2021, 2035, and so on, where every blink holds the potential to alter destiny. The film revolves around Apoorva (Shetty), a 24-year-old theatre artist, who works backstage and grapples with the weight of his secrets and aspirations. Concealing his academic failures from his mother back in the village, Apoorva navigates the complexities of his dual life, finding solace and support in his love interest, Swapna (Mandara Battalahalli). However, Apoorva's life takes a startling turn when he discovers an extraordinary ability hidden within him - the power to control blinking.
As Apoorva delves deeper into the mystery surrounding his newfound skill, he is confronted by a mysterious old man who unveils shocking revelations about his father's fate. However, before Apoorva can fully grasp the implications of this revelation, the old man disappears, leaving a trail of unanswered questions. Soon, Apoorva finds himself pursued not only by his doppelganger but also by the enigmatic old man, each harbouring their own agenda.
