For Anandita Sundar, her first stint as a creative producer in Double Occupancy , releasing today, has been equal parts challenging and exciting. Speaking about the experience working on her debut venture, she admits, “My parents (Kushboo and Sundar C) treated this as my learning process, as did I. I knew there was a lot I had to learn, and I tried to be as hands-on as possible.”
“Towards the end, I wasn’t able to be on set a lot because while we were wrapping up Double Occupancy , we were also starting Meesaya Murukku 2 . So, I had to juggle my time between both,” she says.
Describing the core idea of the film, produced by her Kushboo under Avni Movies along with ACS Arun Kumar of Benzz Media, Anandita states, “It’s a complete fantasy film — about a man who biologically turns into a woman every single day. It’s an exciting, fresh concept. The film has love, friendship, family and grief. There’s so much in the film that people can connect to.”
Elaborating on what drew her to the project, she says, “I liked the fact that it had sci-fi and fantasy elements, and yet it was set in a normal world. The actual conflict of the film had to do with the emotions of the four central characters and how their lives get entangled in a mess. It’s an extremely unrelatable story that’s been crafted into a really relatable film.”
