Every actor dreams of going global, but few get to do it early in their careers. Anjali Sivaraman is among the lucky ones. The actor has bagged a role in Mira Nair’s next feature Amri — a biopic on Hungarian-Indian painter Amrita Sher-Gil that traces her bohemian life between 1915 and 1941 across Hungary, France, and India.
So when mid-day gets on a call with the actor, we can’t help mention Amri, written by Nair and French screenwriter Clara Royer, but Sivaraman though excited, remains tight-lipped about the international project that also features Emily Watson, Jaideep Ahlawat, Jim Sarbh, Anjana Vasan, and Priyanka Chopra in a cameo. “Honestly, I’m just very blessed and happy that this opportunity made its way to me. Apart from that, I’m not allowed to answer any question about it,” she laughs.
