I was a workaholic and restless by temperament: Nandita Dass

Film-maker and actress Nandita Das is glowing as she was last seen with her son Vihaan at a recent event.

Motherhood has changedlife for her and businessman husband Subodh Maskara who are now pround parents of a baby boy.

Talking about the life-altering experience, she says,” I was a workaholic and restless by temperament but I am discovering a far more patient and centered self and so happy just being with my little one. I am missing nothing else!”

Talking about her next film she says, “There are a couple of projects both in terms of acting and directing that I am considering. Recently I have committed to directing an international film called Trafficking (working title) which tells the intertwining story of three young women from very different backgrounds who are forced into the dehumanising world of sexual slavery. I was attracted to the project because it is a powerful story that needs to be told. We know so little about trafficking and an accessible film that touches the hearts and the minds of people will do justice to it.”

Nandita has been in the industry for more than a decade and says that it is her serious image that irks her the most. The actress is percieved to do only ‘meaningful cinema’ and says that she gets annoyed when people ask her about an image makeover. “It has been 14 years since I did my first film Fire. I find it strange that this question is still asked to me as by now my work and choices should have answered them adequately. I want to continue being part of stories that I feel need to be told. I don’t label films as art or commercial. Image is what others create, so neither am I trying to create it or shed it. I am just doing what resonates with my beliefs and interests.”

Nandita Das is set to go back to direction

After making a movie on communal riots, actress-turned-director Nandita Das is set to go back to direction once again to make a film on flesh trade.
Set in Gujarat, her directorial debut ‘Firaaq’ took a look at the lives of people after the 2002 violence. This time it’s an international film called ‘Trafficking’.
Written by Siddharth Kara, who has researched extensively on the subject of human trade, ‘Trafficking’ will tell the story of three sex workers from India, Nigeria and Ukraine.
Apparently when the producers, Luca Guadagnino of First Sun Pictures in Italy and Elizabeth Stanley saw Nandita’s directorial debut ‘Firaaq’, they were convinced she was the right person to direct ‘Trafficking’.
Though the 40-year-old is busy being a mother for the first time, she cannot resist the temptation of wielding the megaphone. And the big question is how will Nandita divide her time between her son Vihaan, who was born Aug 11 this year, and directing a new film?
"The producers approached me at the end of last year and we have been in serious talks since then. I met the writer, Siddharth Kara in London earlier this year and have been giving my inputs for the next draft of the script. The producers are well aware of Vihaan in my life and sensitive to it," said the actress who is married to Subodh Maskara, an industrialist.
Nandita is in no hurry to shoot.
"The basic pre-production starts only after March next year and the shoot will be done when I completely feel up to it. As being a mother is something new for me, I am taking one step at a time.
"But we are all committed to working together on this film. It is big and challenging project and lot of work is needs to be done before the actual shoot. In a few months taking care of Vihaan and also starting the preparatory work on the film should be possible. It will keep my creative faculties intact."

Her son will not have to miss his mom. "Vihaan will be on the shoot with me. He will see his mama work," said the actress who carved a niche for herself with award winning performances in ‘Bawander’, ‘Kamli’ and ‘Amaar Bhuvan’.
