Mumbai, Jan 3 (NationPress) Actors Vijay Sethupathi, Arvind Swamy, and Aditi Rao Hydari are set to grace the silver screen with their daring silent film, Gandhi Talks, which is slated for release on January 30.
Director Kishore Belekar elaborated on the film's intent, stating, “Gandhi Talks is a narrative that celebrates the power of silence. As Indian cinema celebrates over a hundred years of storytelling, we sought to return to its most fundamental essence: authentic performance and raw emotion.”
He added, “The cast fully embraced their vulnerability, and with A.R. Rahman’s musical compositions serving as the film’s voice, we were able to create a daring and sincere cinematic experience.”
In a cinematic landscape often dominated by grandiosity and sound, Gandhi Talks opts for restraint, emotion, and stillness to convey its message. It unites a remarkable cast, including Vijay Sethupathi, Arvind Swamy, Aditi Rao Hydari, and Siddharth Jadhav.
Adding depth to the film is A.R. Rahman’s music, which acts as the emotional narrative of Gandhi Talks. In the absence of dialogue, Rahman’s score guides viewers through the film’s emotional journey.
The film reportedly delves into black comedy, contrasting Gandhi’s image on currency with his ideals, focusing on a young man's quest for wealth and an encounter with a thief.
Vijay Sethupathi was recently seen in Thalaivan Thalaivii, directed by Pandiraj, alongside Nithya Menon.
Aditi Rao Hydari last appeared in Hey! Sinamika, directed by Brinda, which is a reimagining of the Argentine film A Boyfriend for My Wife, featuring Dulquer Salmaan as her spouse, with Kajal Aggarwal and Nakshatra Nagesh in supporting roles.
On the other hand, Arvind Swamy was last featured in Anupam Kher’s Tanvi The Great.
