Acting career evolution: Piloo Vidyarthi discusses her journey from theater to television and movies
In the world of digital cinema, Piloo Vidyarthi continues to make a significant impact with her evolving presence and captivating performances. The versatile actress, known for her roles in films like Akeli and Vedaa, has recently graced the screens of OTT platforms in shows like Mandala Murders and Sarzameen.
Piloo's acting career began in the theatre during her days at Jadavpur University, where she honed her skills alongside peers like Kaushik Ganguly and Churni Ganguly. After moving to Mumbai, she continued her journey in theatre with notable artists, before transitioning into television serials and eventually films [1].
In Mandala Murders, streaming on Netflix, Piloo plays Kalindi Shastri opposite Raghuvir Yadav. The actress was drawn to the role due to Gopi Puthran's narration and brief. Meanwhile, in Sarzameen, streaming on JioCinema, she shares the screen with Kajol, Prithviraj Sukumaran, and Ibrahim Ali Khan. Interestingly, her role in Sarzameen required less acting than initially anticipated [1].
Piloo's approach to roles remains consistent, regardless of screen time. She has not asked about the number of scenes or lines in a film or series, focusing instead on delivering a nuanced performance [2]. This approach has served her well in her collaborations with seasoned actors like Kajol and Prithviraj in Sarzameen, providing her with interesting human experiences and observations [3].
Looking ahead, Piloo expresses a keen interest in exploring every genre and collaborating with esteemed directors such as Hansal Mehta, Vishal Bharadwaj, Nikhil Advani, Nagesh Kunoor, Shoojit Sircar, Dibakar Banerjee, Imtiaz Ali, and Anurag Basu [1]. OTT platforms, with their offering of mature and interesting roles, present exciting opportunities for Piloo to continue her journey in digital cinema.
