It’s hard for Kirti Kulhari to pinpoint the reason that made her choose Shaadisthan — it could well be the character, the central theme or the lure of a road-trip film. “My character Sasha is sorted and empowered. She came across as a person I am hoping to become some day,” begins the actor. The Raj Singh Chaudhary-directed venture revolves around four free-spirited musicians, including Sasha, whose lives collide with that of a small-town couple and their daughter as they travel together from Mumbai to Rajasthan. “I knew it was a small film, but I gravitated towards it because it’s the kind of movie that has to be made. The budgets and resources were limited, but our heart was in the right place.”
