Rasika Dugal Discusses Nuanced Performances in 'Lord Curzon Ki Haveli'

Rasika Dugal, known for her complex and nuanced performances across mediums, has recently discussed her latest film 'Lord Curzon Ki Haveli'. Dugal shares that what excited her about the script was its performance-driven nature, reminiscent of the film 'Carnage' she had watched earlier. She emphasizes that for such a setup to work, the performances need to be precise, and the workshop process played a key role in shaping those performances.

Dugal adds that the workshops enabled her to discover things she hadn't expected and allowed her, with the director's support, to build the character's world. She acknowledges that while many believe OTT platforms prioritize character-driven casting and Bollywood often follows a more template-based approach, the reality is not always so straightforward. Dugal feels that casting decisions depend on perceptions and requirements, regardless of the platform, and sometimes authenticity takes a backseat to reaching a wider audience.

Despite these challenges, Dugal remains focused on her craft, believing that the shift towards more talent-driven casting has already begun, as evidenced by the roles she has bagged. Her performance in 'Lord Curzon Ki Haveli' is set to continue her reputation for portraying complex characters with depth and precision.
