Aditya Kripalani's latest feature film, I'm Not An Actor, is officially selected for screening at the 14th DC South Asian Film Festival, which will take place between September 5 and 7, in Washington D.C.

Starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Chitrangada Satarupa, the film received its World Premiere at Cinequest Film Festival 2025 in San Jose, USA. “Each day, we called ‘Action’ and ‘Cut’ at the same time across two continents. Our goal was to keep the emotional connection and conversations between the actors as raw and authentic as possible,” said Kriplani.

"First film shot live between two countries, and which is so actor-focused despite so much technology being used. And such a tough shoot to shoot live across two countries for 30 days. One actor in Frankfurt. One in Mumbai. Both on video calls and the shoot happening simultaneously. America has been kind to our film. World premiere at CineQuest in California, East Coast premiere in New York, and now Washington - just in a matter of months. We’re thrilled to be travelling to the US yet again for a festival, and this time as the Opening film. Very excited," the filmmaker added.
