Nandita Das: 'Kapil Sharma had always told me that he would completely submit to my process and he truly did'
FirstpostIn her twenty-six years as an actress, Nandita Das has directed only three films: the hard-hitting political drama Firaaq in 2008, Manto, the Saadat Haasan Manto biopic in 2018 and now Zwigato, her first fictional directorial about the ups and downs in a delivery boy’s life. While the story of Zwigato is set in India, I was happy to see how the universality of the theme resonated with the discerning and diverse audience that the Toronto International Film Festival attracts. I feel Zwigato, though set in India, is a global story, and we hope the film reaches out to as wide an audience as possible and that is what OTT platforms ensure. But in these twentysix years, I have also directed three feature films, three shorts, served as the Chairperson of the Children’s Film Society, wrote a monthly column for eight years, did a fellowship at Yale, raised a child who is 12 now…so acting has always been one of the many things I did and want to do.
