One look at the teaser of Rajshri Deshpande’s new film Privacy, which comes six months after her much-acclaimed Netflix offering Trial by Fire, and you would think that the actor is drawn to dystopia as a genre. “Isn’t dystopia a reality?” she says thoughtfully, as we sit down to chat about the film that will première at South Korea’s Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival (BiFan).
Sudeep Kanwal’s directorial offering is a social thriller that explores themes of voyeurism and mental health. The film’s intention to depict the harsh reality drew the actor to it. “This is a genre-breaking film that wasn’t easy to get off the ground,” she says, gearing up to go to South Korea next week. “I’m not seeking entertainment that’s always happy and shiny. Some are trying to show the world something escapist, while some like me choose shows and movies that depict the real picture. From being Ismat Chughtai in Manto [2018] to Neelam Krishnamurthy in Trial by Fire, I want to depict what we all are going through. When people see me, they see an actor who is able to strip their vanity off and be the character.”
