Saiyami on collaborating with Vikram Phadnis
Speaking about the project and collaborating with Vikram Phadnis, Saiyami Kher shared, “Vikram narrated the film, and it was an immediate yes from me. I’m extremely grateful that I’ve received such an author-backed role. Actors like me are always hoping to get such meaty parts, so every opportunity like this feels like a blessing. This film is deeply personal to Vikram, and that adds even more responsibility on me to live up to his expectations. I truly hope I have.
Vikram is a wonderful soul. His earnestness, hard work, and conviction are the reasons this film has become possible. He was extremely clear about exactly what he wanted. Despite being one of the biggest names in the fashion industry and having the access to cast anyone he wanted, he remained honest to the role and trusted his conviction with his choices.
I play a photographer in the film, and it’s always exciting to learn a new skill with every project. As you can see, Vikram has given me a completely different look in the film. I’m also delighted to work with Vineet and Tahir. They are fantastic actors, secure and very giving, which makes the process so much simpler. I feel fortunate to have films like Haiwaan and this one, both of which are completely contrasting in terms of characters and storytelling. All I can hope for is to continue living many more new lives in front of the camera.”
With its emotionally driven narrative and compelling cast, the film is already generating curiosity among audiences eager to see Saiyami Kher in yet another nuanced and performance-oriented role.
