New Delhi, Jun 1 : ‘Mirzapur’ fame actress Rasika Dugal is thrilled to collaborate with Naseeruddin Shah for the short film ‘The Miniaturist Of Junagadh’.
The movie was nominated as Best Short Film at the New York Indian Film Festival. It was screened at the Cincinnati Indian Film Festival and it was also officially selected for the International Film Festival of South Asia Toronto and Indian Film Festival Stuttgart.
Talking about the same, Rasika in a statement said, “I am moved by how gently and beautifully Kaushal has chosen to tell this story. The film is embellished with so many details which never attract attention to themselves and might even seem inconsequential but contribute so much to the experience of a viewer and in creating a world for the actors to thrive in.”
“This is a special film for me as it gave me the opportunity to act alongside Naseer Saab, who was my teacher at FTII. So, I got to be a student again. I am delighted that after being screened at many festivals, the film will now reach a wider audience,” she added.
It is accessible to viewers on the YouTube channel of Royal Stag Barrel Select Large Short Films. It follows the unravelling of a secret about a beautiful miniature collection that a family is determined to keep.
Rasika’s upcoming projects include ‘Adhura’, ‘Spike’, ‘Delhi Crime Season 2’ and ‘Lord Curzon Ki Haveli’.
