Reimagine—that has been the key word for Shriya Pilgaonkar in 2023. The actor’s focus has been on projects that depict her in a new light. That’s where Dry Day fits in. The Amazon Prime Video film, starring Jitendra Kumar, presents her as a mainstream heroine after a spate of gritty shows, including Guilty Minds (2022), Mirzapur and The Broken News (2022). “It was refreshing for me to be projected as a Hindi film heroine in Dry Day. I got to showcase an aspect that perhaps had not been seen before. What was most exciting was the opportunity to do a song. I always dreamt of dancing on screen, and Dry Day gave me that opportunity,” she smiles.
