LIKE TO DO DIFFERENT KINDS OF FILMS: ADITI RAO HYDARI
For Aditi Rao Hydari, who says she likes to do different kinds of films
Having done films as different as chalk and cheese like London, Paris, New York, Bhoomi and Padmaavat, actress Aditi Rao Hydari says versatility is very important for her. Asked why she’s mostly done multi-starrer projects, Aditi said, “I have done a mix of different kinds of cinema. I have done films like London, Paris, New York or Murder 3, where it’s just about one person or two people or Bhoomi for that matter... I have done lots of those and I have also not shied away from films which are multi-starrers, because for me a film is all about the director and the team that makes a film and about the script and character I am playing.”
Aditi says she is inspired by the way international artists work. “Like people in the West, such as Jennifer Lawrence, Natalie Portman or Brad Pitt and all the amazing actors... they also do a mix of different kinds of cinema. So, here even I am inspired with that way of working and I also do a sort of mix of different kinds of films. I think versatility for me is very important,” she added.
The Wazir actress stresses that cinema is a director’s vision. “And I completely surrender to the director’s vision and I am like putty in their hands and they mould me. So, that’s the way I work and I like to be challenged,” she added.
Aditi has also worked in the south Indian film industry. She was seen in Prajapathi, Sringaram and Kaatru Veliyidai. Talking about working in the south Indian film industry, she said, “Films are about feelings... Feelings don’t have a language... they are universal. So, I consider myself blessed that pan-Indian audiences are watching my films and I am being given these opportunities to work with some of the greatest directors of our country.”
The Murder 3 actress considers herself blessed for getting all the opportunities as an “actor who does not have any backing and who has come into the industry just because I love being in front of the camera”. Aditi says it is not about the region, boundaries or language. “It is about the director and the team that makes the film. It’s their vision and I give myself completely to that vision. So I don’t want language to ever come in my way. Whether it is in India or abroad... If there is a director I am dying to work with I will work extra hard and do that film,” she added.
