In Jubilee, she plays a prominent movie star of the ’40s
At the start of 2023, Aditi Rao Hydari was yet to have a taste of web series. Four months on, she sits pretty with two OTT shows, Taj: Divided by Blood and Jubilee, behind her. Vikramaditya Motwane’s offering has won the actor rich praise for her portrayal of Sumitra Kumari, a much-loved movie star of the ’40s who finds herself a mere pawn in her studio owner-husband’s grand plans. Despite her 14 years in the Hindi film industry, one senses it’s finally the long-format storytelling that has tapped into Hydari’s potential.
To the actor, however, the vision of filmmakers, not the medium, is key. “The onus of utilising actors and their talent is on directors and producers. They have to be able to imagine us in roles and have the courage to feature us. Do they have the courage to tell those stories and fight those battles where they are nurturing talent? That is the question,” she asserts.
