Actress Kitu Gidwani, who featured in popular Doordarshan television shows like Shaktimaan and Swabhimaan back in the late ’90s and early 2000s, is set to star in Aafat-e-Ishq director Indrajit Nattoji's upcoming featurette Madam Driver, the filmmaker announced via an Instagram post on Friday.
“#comingsoon MADAM DRIVER is a poignant addition to an anthology of featurettes created by artist and filmmaker Indrajit Nattoji spotlighting women’s stories in small-town India- a coming-of-age story of a middle-aged woman in Gujarat as she learns to drive, confronts grief, forges new relationships, and embraces independence.,” the Indrajit wrote alongside a poster of the film.
Kitu, who made her television debut with Trishna in 1984, is known for her work in Earth, Fashion and Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na.
“Madam Driver is a coming-of-age story of a middle-aged woman in Gujarat as she learns to drive, confront grief, forge new relationships, and embrace independence. Featurette is a disruptive format shorter than feature films yet longer than shorts, curated for these compelling narratives,” Indrajit said in a statement.
Produced by I.N.K. Pictures L.L.P., in collaboration with GreyOwl Barnstorm Pvt Ltd. and co-produced by Kinetigra Medias & Productions Pvt Ltd., the featurette also stars Manmohini and Beyhadh 2 fame Ankit Siwach and Tezz actor Bhavna Pani.
