Among many other celebrities from around the world, Deepika Padukone and Hrithik Roshan feature in a documentary created by Anto Philip and his team at Under 25, a youth club. The documentary titled ‘Batch of 2020‘ is made for those who missed their graduation due to the COVID-19 pandemic this year. In the one hour documentary celebs have talked to the new graduates about starting their careers and the challenges they might face outside the college.
Schools and colleges across the world were unable to host their graduation ceremonies because of the pandemic. So, celebrities across spheres – Barack Obama, Tom Hanks, Oprah Winfrey, Miley Cyrus among others – have addressed this year’s graduating class. Under 25’s Anto Philip decided to replicate this experience in the form of a documentary. A team of seven people coordinated with many artists despite the lockdown to make the film.
To the surprise of many, Hrithik Roshan states that he feels envious for the Batch of 2020. He further added that after college, life depends on an individual’s life choices and attitude. The actor also said that he believes something special is going to be born inside of an individual during this difficult time. Meanwhile, Deepika Padukone was recalled and explained why she dropped out of college. She also asserted that she was kind of a student who wanted to do things outside the classroom, such as theatre, and sports.
Telling about the film, creator Anto Philip wrote, “A thoughtfully curated film with the objective of helping them understand what awaits them in the real world. It covers conversations, speeches, and information from the most inspiring people from around the country. This is a dedication to the batch of 2020 and also to every youngster in general who through the years have succumbed to the pressure and anxiety of being defined by just certificates and degrees.”
Elaborating further he wrote, “The film gives students an insight into questions that the education system has failed to answer. What lies next for a graduate’ A question that many of them are currently pondering over. We’ve covered topics like understanding the formal education system, the tools a youngster needs to reboot during these tough times, learning from industry experts on qualities that are a must in a graduating student and more.”
Apart from Deepika Padukone and Hrithik Roshan, the documentary also featured Anand Gandhi, Armaan Malik, Akash Iyer, Roshan Abbas and Tanmay Bhatt among many others.
