Vijaydan Detha—a name that needs no introduction when it comes to rural storytelling that challenges deep-rooted social structures. His works, rich with folklore and sharp social critique, have inspired many iconic films. Saankal was one of his finest, and I was fortunate to portray “Kesar” in its cinematic adaptation.

The film received critical acclaim worldwide, earning recognition for its raw storytelling and powerful performances. Being part of such a project is more than just acting—it’s an opportunity to step into the world of a visionary writer, to see life through his lens, and to absorb his profound understanding of relationships and human nature.

With every such experience, you don’t just grow as an actor—you evolve as a person.
