The RRR performance at the Oscars was awesome-Miles Teller

Across Whiplash, Only the Brave, and Top Gun: Maverick, Miles Teller has quietly built a loyal following in India. Ahead of the release of his recently released film Eternity, he sat down with us to talk about on-screen chemistry, the emotional core of the story, and what the journey has taught him about love. But before all that, he shares something unexpected — the one place here he’s genuinely curious to experience for himself.
“I've never been to India. But I have a lot of Indian buddies, so I've always been one to check it out. They're cool. I like what they're exporting on the human level, occasionally," he tells us.
He admits he has watched Indian content. “I have watched Indian content. Especially, RRR — the performance at the Oscars was badass. We love it. Keep it coming," he adds.
The conversation moves naturally to Eternity, where chemistry between long-tethered characters plays a crucial role. Teller explains how he found chemistry with his co-star Elizabeth Olsen.
“We knew the part of the country where these characters came from. There is a certain rhythm and energy to that. We knew just by the nature of how long these people had been together that there was a certain ease, a lack of vanity. They've just been coexisting for so long. But I thought that was fun about reigniting that excitement, too — that comes with no longer having to deal with the burdens of life. Being that age, you felt the best, and they get to go back to their "glory days". But you never know chemistry wise until you start working with the person. I thought we kind of hit it off right off the bat," he tells us.
As he talks about connection on screen, he also opens up about his idea of love and connection, off-screen. “I think you get out of it what you put into it. I find that for the different relationships in my life that are substantial… especially as you get older. And I'm thinking more of friendships, but in love and with family, you have to put some effort in to maintain it," he says.
Does he believe in the concept of partners for eternity? He quips, 'Yeah, my wife… she’s a very Catholic girl, and she's like, 'Oh, yeah, whoever dies first, the other person will be waiting to walk you over to the other side'.”
Talking about performing emotional scenes on screen, Teller states, "I do all the tricks. If the script is really well written, then it kind of is really going to serve you, and it's a lot harder when you don't have that luxury," he concludes.
I think love is allowed to be many different things-Elizabeth Olsen

The actress, who will be seen in a rom-com, talks about wanting to visit India and how she explores emotional scenes in screen romances

Actress Elizabeth Olsen enjoys a loyal fan base in India courtesy of the portrayal of Wanda Maximoff across the Marvel Universe. The actress sits down for a chat with Bombay Times and is quite surprised to hear about the love she enjoys here. “I have never been to India. I'd love to. (But) I’ve definitely seen Indian content,” she says when asked about India.
Elizabeth's next is a rom-com, Eternity, where she is paired with Miles Teller and Callum Turner. Ask her what the art of finding chemistry with an on-screen partner and she explains, “It’s on the page. And there's something that is a lucky gift when you get to play characters that are just the most comfortable version of themselves. That looks like a form of chemistry because of the time spent. A lot of times as actors you might be put in uncomfortable situations - like making out - being chemistry. But for us it was our bickering and frustrations with each other that was a form of intimacy.”
As she plays a romantic character, ask her about her idea of love and she reveals, “I think love is allowed to be so many different things, so I wouldn't be able to make a definition. I think the love you feel with your first crush, at the age of eight, is just as valid as your first real romantic love in more formative years. And so is the love that you spend with—if you end up getting married or choosing a partner. I think all those forms of love are completely valid."
Eternity explores the idea of forever love. But does Olsen herself believe in it? She laughs off, "No. I thought it was just kind of funny."
While the movie, hits theatres tomorrow across PVR INOX Cinemas in the country, may be a rom-com it also lets Olsen explore a few emotional scenes, which let her explore the depths of her character.
Leading into her process for emotional scenes, she adds, “It just depends on what you're doing. I don't think the focus is the emotion, but the focus is communicating whatever's happening in that moment. I think sometimes it surprises you and catches you off guard, and sometimes it's written in the script. Sometimes it's something the director asks of you, sometimes it's for a moment of comedy. And that's also useful, especially in these types of films. I don't know… everyone has different versions of what they need to do to get there as actors. I think it doesn't really matter how one gets there as long as it's believable enough.”
(Crisp) Movie Review: ETERNITY by FENIL SETA
11:12 AM
Eternity is based on life after death, but it's not similar at all to any other films in this space. The concept is unique and the depiction of 'The Junction' and the various worlds are fascinating and even amusing. Director David Freyne's treatment is in the zone of Woody Allen-meets-Wes Anderson and it works and also adds to the visual appeal. Though the film has a lot of funny moments, it doesn't stir viewers emotionally. This is a major point that goes against the film. Also, the protagonists don't seem to be in a shock after dying and reaching a strange new place, that too as their younger selves. Miles Teller (Larry) gets his act right. Elizabeth Olsen (Joan) looks stunning and gives a first-rate performance. Callum Turner (Luke) is wonderful as the ‘perfect’ lover. Da'Vine Joy Randolph (Anna) and John Early (Ryan) are entertaining. All in all, Eternity has issues, but it makes for a delightful watch.
