I am a bit too picky: Trupti Toradmal

Actor Trupti Toradmal made heads turn with her debut in the psychological thriller, Savita Damodar Paranjape (2018). The film got her awards as well as appreciation for her portrayal of Kussum Abhyankar. The actor is now gearing up to woo the audience yet again in a completely new avatar.

Trupti has signed Digpal Lanjekar’s Fatteshikast and will be seen in an interesting and brave character in the historical film. “I took time and decided to wait. After the release, a lot of offers came, but nothing excited me. The roles were either just arm candies or glamorous. I want to be able to create a bouquet of different kind of roles,” says the daughter of veteran actor-writer Madhukar Toradmal.

The actor is fine with doing just a few films a year. She says, “I am a bit too picky. I want to be associated with quality work. The number of films doesn’t really matter, because I want to focus on good products. I choose scripts with my gut feeling.”

On working with Digpal, she adds that they coincidentally were introduced to each other at an award function. And then, they decided to work together. “Digpal is spot on with his work. I consider this as a dream come true, because after I watched Farzand, I wished I could work with Digpal. I feel blessed that it is happening,” she says.

For her research and preparation, Trupti turned to her mother’s (Pramila Ghorpade) side of the family, as their come from the lineage of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj clan. She plays a brave warrior in the film, but she refuses to reveal more details of the same. “My father had once told me that apart from your own inputs, you should always go with the director. He believed that only then each performance of yours will be different. I plan to do the same with this film,” she signs off.

Trupti will be soon getting into the digital space, too as she will be co-producing a Hindi web series.
