Aditi calls ‘Gandhi Talks’ a film where emotions speak without words

Bollywood actress Aditi Rao Hydari’s latest film, “Gandhi Talks,” hits the screens on Friday and she described it as “something so new for all of us.” Aditi took to Instagram, where she shared a poster of the film and wrote: “Gandhi talks releases today. A silent film that we all made together, something so new for all of us, directed by Kishore who has spent more than a decade on the story board, and the nuances.”

“Scored by Rahman sir whose music always transports you into a world you’re happy to live in, where love goodness and hope win.” The film promises a cinematic world where differences dissolve, leaving only humanity. She added: “A world where all differences fade away, and what remains is humanity. People who have the time to watch, to feel, to love, to believe.... to hear rhythm in the silences, to sing a song in your head, to feel another persons heart race and be still. Welcome to our world of silence where Gandhi Talks!”

“Gandhi Talks” chooses restraint, emotion, and stillness to communicate its message. It also stars Vijay Sethupathi, Arvind Swamy, and Siddharth Jadhav. The film is reportedly a black comedy exploring the contrast between Gandhi on currency notes and his ideals, focusing on a young man’s struggle for money and crossing paths with a thief.

Aditi was previously seen in “Hey! Sinamika” directed by Brinda. It is an adaptation of the 2008 Argentine film “A Boyfriend for My Wife,” but has the roles switched.

The film stars Dulquer Salmaan and Aditi Rao Hydari as a married couple, Kajal Aggarwal as a relationship counselor and Nakshatra Nagesh as a radio jockey. It follows Yaazhan, a software engineer, whose wife, Mouna, tries to end their marriage as she starts to find him annoying.

Speaking about the vision behind the film, director Kishore Belekar shared, “Gandhi Talks is a film about trusting silence. As Indian cinema marks over a century of storytelling, we wanted to return to the medium’s most elemental form pure performance and emotion.”

“The actors embraced that vulnerability completely, and A.R. Rahman’s score became the film’s voice. With Zee Studios’, Meera Chopra’s support, we were able to make a bold, honest piece of cinema.”

Adding an exceptional layer to the film is A.R. Rahman’s music, which becomes the emotional voice of Gandhi Talks. In the absence of spoken words, Rahman’s score acts as the narrator, guiding the audience through the film’s emotional landscape. The film is reportedly a black comedy exploring the contrast between Gandhi on currency notes and his ideals, focusing on a young man’s struggle for money and crossing paths with a thief. Talking about Vijay, he was last seen in “Thalaivan Thalaivii” directed by Pandiraj. The romantic comedy film also stars Nithya Menon. Meanwhile, Arvind’s last big screen outing was in Anupam Kher’s “Tanvi The Great”. Aditi Rao Hydari was last seen in the streaming series ‘Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar.’
