Sundari: An Actor Prepares is a film based on
the play by Anuradha Kapur. Jayshankar Sundari was
a popular female impersonator of Gujrati stage in
early 20th century Bombay.
Centered
around the works of eminent painters Bhupen Khakkar
and Nilima Sheikh, the film documents the process of
his journey from a boy to a man and simultaneously
from a male to a female, in the context of
contemporary gender discourses and politics of
acting. |
