That some of the industry’s finest actors are set to come together for Aasmaan Bhardwaj’s directorial debut, Kuttey, can presumably give us a fair idea of the script’s merit. The cast includes his director-father Vishal Bhardwaj’s favourites — Tabu, Naseeruddin Shah, Konkona Sen Sharma and Radhika Madan — alongside Arjun Kapoor, Kumud Mishra and Shardul Bhardwaj. Sharma’s enthusiasm for the film is evident as she exclaims, “What a wonderful script Aasmaan has written!”
The actor is eager to see what the new blood has to offer. “I have a cameo in the film. I was blown away when I saw the poster. He has written a fantastic script; it is complicated and interesting. I’m looking forward to start shooting for this one,” says the actor, who previously worked with Bhardwaj senior on Omkara (2006) and his production, Ek Thi Daayan (2013).
According to Sharma, she is in the best phase of her career now as digital entertainment has brought a plethora of roles to the fore. “Be it Geeli Pucchi where I play somebody from the LGBTQIA+ community who is also a Dalit, or essaying a [wife] cheating [on her husband] in Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare [2020] — we get a lot more variety because of OTT platforms. Earlier, we only had films. Now, there are different formats by way of anthologies and mini-series. If you view it from the audience’s perspective, there is a section that prefers realistic content while some like to see fluffy romance. Because of OTT, they too have more choices.”
