VIVEIK KALRA (above left) is intent on telling stories of the underrep-
resented. His portrayal of a teen growing up working class and Pakistani
in 1980s London in Blinded by the Light earned a standing ovation at
Sundance. Still, he’s in awe of epics like his next film, Voyagers. “Bigger-
budget stuff is an art form, because you have to imagine the surreal. That’s
an amazing thing to be able to do.”

His role in Greta Gerwig’s recent adaptation of Little Women came on the
back of two TV projects that made JAMES NORTON (left) big back home:
the grim Yorkshire police drama Happy Valley and the Kremlin crime se-
ries McMafia. But he was still starstruck on the film set. “Someone brought
Meryl Streep and I cups of tea with our names on it—I took a photo of it
when she wasn’t looking.”
