Mumbai, March 2 || The makers of ‘Jab Khuli Kitaab’ on Monday unveiled its trailer, offering a heartfelt, humorous, and refreshingly honest glimpse into one of the most poignant portrayals of mature love on screen. Actress Dimple Kapdia, who plays a key character, said that the film felt like a project where all her boxes were ticked.
Dimple on playing Anusuya said: “Jab Khuli Kitaab truly felt like a project where all my boxes were ticked — a beautiful story, the opportunity to work with Pankaj Kapur, and to be directed by Saurabh ji, all while basking in the beauty and divine energy of the mountains.”
She added that Anusuya is written with such depth and honesty that it was a joy to explore her many shades.
Dimple shared: “What drew me to her is the simplicity of intention — she isn’t trying to break her marriage; she’s trying to be honest within it. That kind of honesty, especially after decades together, requires immense emotional courage. It feels great to portray such a nuanced character.”
Written and directed by Saurabh Shukla, the film delves into the emotional complexities of a five-decade-long marriage disrupted by a truth long buried in silence.
