Having done films as different as chalk and cheese like London, Paris, New York, Bhoomi and Padmaavat, actress Aditi Rao Hydari says versatility is very important for her.
Asked why she’s majorly done multi-starrer projects, Aditi told IANS in a recorded response: “I have done a mix of different kinds of cinema. I have done films like ‘London, Paris, New York’ or ‘Murder 3’ where it’s just about one person or two people or ‘Bhoomi’ for that matter… I have done lots of those and I have also not shied away from films which are multi-starrers because for me a film is all about the director and the team that makes a film and about the script and character I am playing.”
Aditi says she is inspired by the way international artists work. “Like people in the West, such as Jennifer Lawrence, Natalie Portman or Brad Pitt and all the amazing actors… they also do a mix of different kinds of cinema. So, here even I am inspired with that way of working and I also do a sort of mix of different kinds of films.
“I think versatility for me is very important,” she added.
The Wazir actress stresses that cinema is a director’s vision. “And I completely surrender to the director’s vision and I am like putty in their hands and they mould me. So, that’s the way I work and I like to be challenged,” she added.
Aditi has also worked in the south Indian film industry. She was seen in Prajapathi, Sringaram and Kaatru Veliyidai.
Talking about working in the south Indian film industry, she said, “Films are about feelings… Feelings don’t have a language… they are universal. So, I consider myself blessed that pan-Indian audiences are watching my films and I am being given these opportunities to work with some of the greatest directors of our country.”
The Murder 3 actress considers herself blessed for getting all the opportunities as an “actor who does not have any backing and who has come into the industry just because I love being in front of the camera”.
