From playing Safia in Nandita Das' ‘Manto’ to Savita in Mira Nair's ‘A Suitable Boy’, every collaboration has been remarkable. As the actor celebrates her birthday, we are listing down 5 women directors we would love Rasika to work with:
Gauri Shinde
Gauri Shinde the brilliant storyteller is known for directing blockbuster hits like ‘English Vinglish’ and ‘Dear Zindagi’.The incredible director is extremely selective about her film choices and focuses on telling stories that are authentic and unique in nature. It will be a treat to watch an actor like Rasika fuel that authenticity with her craft.
Meghna Gulzar
Meghna Gulzar is one of the celebrated Indian writers, directors, and producers. She is best known for her film 'Raazi' which won several awards. Meghna has always created a huge impact on the audience. She has made films based on real-life stories - ‘Talvar’ and ‘Chhapaak’ are two such impactful and heart-wrenching stories. It will be interesting to see Rasika work in a Meghna Gulzar film, and we are sure the collaboration will touch hearts.
Arati Kadav
Arati Kadav, one of the winners of the BAFTA Breakthrough Awards 2022. She made her debut with ‘Cargo’, a unique and bold attempt at exploring sci-fi in Bollywood. And now she is creating a series that will be a quirky take on romance in the sci-fi genre. Rasika in Kadav's sci-fi world will be gripping.
Anvitaa Dutt
Anvitaa Dutt created waves with her directorial ‘Qala’ which garnered a lot of love from the audiences. The critically acclaimed film was set in the early 40s showcasing the ugly side of ambition and child abuse. Apart from being a director, Anvitaa is also a well-known Indian dialogue writer, screenplay writer, story writer, and lyricist. Rasika's collaboration with Anvitaa Dutt will easily be something to look forward to for the cinephiles.
Kiran Rao
Kiran Rao is a director and producer. She is known for her remarkable creative understanding of cinema which makes her stand out in the industry. We would love to see Rasika star in a Kiran Rao film, as it will be a perfect match.
