Quick Read
Director Anusha Rizvi’s The Great Shamsuddin Family has been winning praise for its depiction of a Muslim household and the lived-in portrayal of relationships. Led by Kritika Kamra, Shreya Dhanwanthary, and Juhi Babbar, the ensemble dramedy also stars Assamese actor Joyeeta Dutta as Latika, a student who lands up in the protagonist’s house. She says the decision to feature in the JioHotstar movie was instinctive. “I felt grateful to be invited into a space that promised depth and honesty,” says the actor, who has also been seen in A Suitable Boy (2020).
Navigating a large cast that included veterans like Farida Jalal and Dolly Ahluwalia didn’t intimidate her. She reasons, “Theatre has prepared me well for ensemble work. You shine in an ensemble when you lead with curiosity and generosity. If you lean in and stay fully involved, everything else disappears.”
