Filmmaking is often a balance between art and commerce, but for director Aditya Kripalani, the scales always tip toward the soul. Known for his raw, human-centric storytelling, Kripalani is back with his latest project, Main Actor Nahi Hoon, set to release in India on May 8. The film, which connects Mumbai and Frankfurt via a video call, explores the deep isolation of the digital age. In an exclusive chat with us, Kripalani opened up about the technical hurdles of shooting across continents and the dream come true experience of collaborating with a powerhouse like Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
