The Parineeti Chopra-starrer The Girl on the Train marked Aditi Rao Hydari’s return to Hindi films after a hiatus. Now, she’s hoping that more exciting work comes her way in Bollywood. She features in Vikramaditya Motwane’s upcoming web series, Stardust, alongside Bengali star Prosenjit Chatterjee, and in the Netflix anthology, Ajeeb Daastaans.
In an earlier interview with IANS, Aditi attributed the popularity of streaming platforms to the fact that the OTT space became our best friend during last years lockdown, although she can't wait to see people returning to theatres to watch films. "During the lockdown, we realised that OTT platforms are like our best friends. Having said that, I feel that theatres have their own magic, so I am waiting to see people going to theatres and watching films in large numbers. In the meantime, I think OTT platforms have been amazing because we can watch really good content there," she said.

After Daas Dev (2018), Rao veered towards the South with Mani Ratnam’s Tamil drama Chekka Chivantha Vaanam (2018), which led her to other projects, including Mysskin’s Psycho (2020). Rao says that she was so tied up with regional fare that there was no time to brood over the lack of Bollywood offers.
Aditi is currently also busy with Ajay Bhupathi's bilingual action drama Maha Samudram alongside Sharwanand Myneni, Siddharth Suryanarayan and Anu Emmanuel. The film is scheduled to release on August 19. She also has the Brinda-directed Tamil romantic comedy film Hey Sinamika coming up, with Dulquer Salmaan and Kajal Aggarwal.
