Kalki Koechin And Films

The actress who has a different attitude and stands out of the rest of the actresses in the industry because of her bold and unconventional roles and the strong statements regarding Feminism and Equality has a few releases lined up. The earliest release is Waiting where Kalki Koechin works with Naseeruddin Shah. She talks of her role in the film and says that she is a young girl who befriends Naseeruddin at the waiting room of a hospital where both of them have coincidentally arrived for their ailing spouses. They develop an inseparable friendship and the relationship, where generation-gap is highly prevalent, is real and pure. She also shares her experience of working with Shah- it is not the first time though. She says that the experienced actor does not teach anything separately; a person can learn a lot simply by closely observing the man. His spontaneity in his work and the child-like enthusiasm brings in a lot of positivity in the sets. The actress who won the National Award for Margarita With A Straw is elated and humble by the response the film has got from the audience as well as the critics. Of course the award makes her happy, but it is not primary- the appreciation from the viewers is what motivates her the most. It keeps her going and encourages her to take more different and challenging roles. She feels that as an actor, versatility is of major importance. After Waiting, two films are lined up. Jia O Jiya, which is about two girls and all that happens through the road trip that they plan to have. The movie, she says, is free spirited. The other one is Mantra where she comes on screen on the Silver Screen for the first time with Rajat Kapoor, who plays the role of her father in the film. The film is about the Economic Liberalisation of 1991. She further adds that she has worked with Rajat on the stage beforeand appreciates all the positivity and guidance that he provides her with.
