Aditi Rao Hydari Reveals Details About Upcoming Project 'O Saathi Re'
While discussing her latest film 'Gandhi Talks', which is currently in theatres, Hydari opened up about 'O Saathi Re' in an interview. She cited Imtiaz Ali as one of her favorite directors and confessed that she has "craved" to work with him on a full-fledged project ever since 'Rockstar'. Reflecting on the filming experience, she called it incredibly exciting, noting Ali's dynamic presence on set where he was always on the move and observed actors in real-time as they performed.
Hydari further elaborated, "So that greed to do a complete film with him still remains. Even in O Saathi Re, he was there for some portions. Quite a bit of it was also directed by Arif Ali. Imtiaz was the showrunner and the writer. He was also directing certain parts. His energy and just the way he thinks, on the spur of the moment, make the process truly inspiring."
