The glow on her face, fresh after the success of her recently released endeavour, Raazi is unmistakable. Amruta Khanvilkar is really happy about the kind of response this film has received. Directed by Meghna Gulzar, featuring Alia Bhatt in the lead role, Raazi is an important film indeed. But it is pertinent to note that Amruta is not new to Bollywood. In fact, her work in the Hindi film industry has fetched Amruta substantial attention from Bollywoodwallas too.
In the Marathi Movie industry, on the other hand, the 32-year-old commands both incredible attention and unbelievable stature. So when we met the expressive star for an exclusive chat, she helped us comprehend what it takes to break into Bollywood. Questions were many, in our curious heads, about how the Marathi film industry functions as opposed to the way in which Bollywood operates.
It's a known fact that quality Marathi movies are driven by solid content. The film-makers depend heavily on the way characters are sketched and how effective is the narrative built. Bollywood too is evolving in terms of content, with more and more filmmakers willing to experiment with exciting concepts.
In this chat, Khanvilkar busts few myths. "Marathi films are not exactly influenced by the kind of work an actor does in Bollywood. Just because you have done Hindi films that doesn't guarantee you more work in Marathi movies," maintains Amruta. Take a look at this video to know the formula from the horse's mouth!
