Sachin Kavetham, who is presently seen in the Sony SAB show Itti Si Khushi, produced by Rose Audio Visuals, was part of the cast of the comedy film Single Salma was released recently. The movie features Huma Qureshi, Shreyas Talpade, and Sunny Singh, among others.
The actor plays a layered and emotionally intense role in the movie. Asked how he prepared for it, he said, “There was an emotional scene towards the end of the film that had me all worked up. I was nervous and jittery because I wanted to pull it off beautifully and make it feel real, and doing that in front of someone as brilliant as Huma ma’am made it even more challenging.”
Sachin confessed that it was the only real challenge in what was otherwise such a beautiful, simple, and amazing journey of Single Salma.” He added, “To prepare for the role, I did the hardest and yet the simplest thing—I just read my lines exactly the way they were written on the page. I didn’t try to overdo or invent anything, because the writing itself had so much life in it. So honestly, the credit goes entirely to the writers: Mudassar Aziz, Amina Khan, and Ravi Kumar.”
His upcoming movie Full Plate has made it to the Busan Film Festival, and the young actor shared that he is happier than surprised. He said, “From the very beginning, the production was sure that this film was going to get global recognition. Hearing the names of such prestigious festivals and awards linked to our film fills me with pride.”
“We are still waiting for its release in India—but I know that it’ll all pay off, not just for me but for every person who is part of the film. You are going to witness one of the best works of Tannishtha Chatterjee ma’am, as a director. I am truly excited about this project coming to the audience,” he added.
Full Plate is the story of a Muslim woman fighting for a taste of freedom, trying to break away from a confined, abusive marriage and do something for her kids. “It’s heartbreakingly beautiful, and it sheds light on how, even in today’s world, many still hold narrow, conservative views about small household women, especially their own family,” Sachin ended.
