While She Might Not Be A Bollywood A-lister Yet, Aditi Rao Hydari Has Been Enjoying Fandom And Popularity Ever Since Her Debut. This Year — With Three Big Budget Releases — Might Just Be The Career Jackpot She Has Been Waiting For.
Everybody loves Aditi Rao Hydari. All my guy friends are nursing crushes on her — and the women around me are enthusiastically Hy-curious. She’s unquestionably beautiful, but what I like about her is that she exudes a certain old world glamour — like she wants you to perpetually look at her through a black-and-white filter and a touch of soft focus. I remember her poignant performance in Delhi-6 as Sonam Kapoor’s spinster aunt (you remember everyone but the lead pair from that film) and even back then, I was really excited about what this actress would do next. Yeh Saali Zindagi released the next year, and she proved her acting mettle in a film that, unfortunately, didn’t do much for her career. Similarly, her kickass performance in Rockstar was overshadowed by the Ranbir Kapoor blitzkrieg. While her first solo lead, London, Paris, New York, with Ali Zafar, was quite a cool film, yet again it failed to leave a mark at the BO. She followed that up with Murder 3 – possibly the best film in the Murder franchise and one of the best thrillers to come out of the Bhatt camp – but the film did only average business. After three forgettable films last year, this year has another hat trick in store for Hydari – and hopefully, 2017 will solidify her position in the industry and bring her due credit for her acting chops. Mani Ratnam’s Kaatru Veliyidai has already brought in critical and commercial acclaim. Up next is the big, fat Sanjay Dutt comeback film, Bhoomi, in which she is the female lead as Dutt’s daughter, followed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s dream opus Padmavati with Ranveer - Deepika Shahid in November. Performance-driven yet commercially viable, this year’s films should do the trick for Hydari.
This year is turning out to be a really busy one for you, isn't it?
