Hemal Dev’s film Unaad will premier at the JIO MAMI Mumbai Film Festival. The actor is excited and looking forward to the response from the audience and critics.
“The story of Unaad is raw and draws a lot from reality. Kuddos to my director Aditya Sarpodar who has made sure to get the best out of all of us. When you watch the film you will feel you are a part of that universe. We shot the film in Konkan. The name of my character is Swara. I can’t reveal much about the role, you have to watch the film to know more about Swara and the narrative,” she says.
The film features Ashitosh Gaikwad in the leading role. Hemal says that he has done a phenomenal job.
Unaad is Hemal’s second release. She has shot for a couple of Marathi films, her first was Ashi Hi Aashiqui that was an out-an-out commercial venture directed by Sachin Pilgaonkar, that released on 1st March 2019.
“Unlike Ashi… Unaad is in the artsy zone. I have not used any makeup in this film. I have gone with a natural tan to look the part,” she adds.
Talking about the difference between films and TV shows, she says, “In films, you have the luxury of time to be able to create something in terms of working on your scripts, character and understanding. You have more time to let it slowly seep inside your soul. In daily soap, you don’t get much time so whatever you do is spontaneous. Both mediums have their pros and cons. Sometimes you will end up creating something much better spontaneously than what you would do even after months of preparation. And there are also times when months of preparation are an absolute necessity. I feel as an actor you should work in all sorts of the medium to learn more.”
