With the release of Ayushmann Khurrana and Ananya Panday starrer Dream Girl 2, this Friday saw another film release, Akelli, by Nushrratt Bharuccha. Akelli is a story of bravery, steadfast convictions, and perseverance that is based on a real Middle Eastern story. It highlights the struggles women face as a result of ISIS's terrorism. The film is directed by Pranay Meshram and stars Nushrratt as the main lead.
During the exclusive interaction with OTTplay, the actress was asked if shouldering the responsibility of an entire film on her own is easy or difficult, to this, Nushrratt said: "I do not feel the pressure because I make sure that I’m not alone. I make sure that my directors are of the same wavelength as me. And I involve them in the process and tell them that there will be times when I won’t be able to understand to how to do or what to do, I need them to be on top of it at that time and really help me and get me through it."
She added: "At least of this film, my producers, our DOP, our art director, my co-actors, everybody on set, I took support and lent in on them in equal measure because of if they wouldn’t do that, I could not have done this. So I always say this that because you have to shoulder it not just on you but on everybody’s shoulder. It has to be a team effort, everybody has to do their part to put out that kind of a product, only then will I be able to do what I do. So I never felt pressure as I divided it amongst all."
