Rasika Dugal On Doing An Improvised Film With Fairy Folk: ‘Written Dialogues Are Too Clean & Logical’

Actress Rasika Dugal is all set to share the screen with her husband Mukul Chadda in the upcoming, one-of-a-kind film, titled Fairy Folk, directed by Karan Gour.

After making waves at prestigious platforms like the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne, Sydney Film Festival and others, Fairy Folk is now all set to release in theatres in India.

In an exclusive chat with The Free Press Journal, Rasika sheds light on why Fairy Folk is different from other films, working with her husband, and more. Excerpts:

What is Fairy Folk about?

Fairy Folk is an improvised film and as the title might suggest, it is magic realism. It is about a lot of things, but primarily through the lens of a couple living in Bombay, who are forced to examine their relationship because of a very odd creature entering their lives, much by chance.

And then the story spirals into dealing with themes of gender identity, love, relationships, control, and loneliness, but all with a sense of humour. All this might sound very serious, but it’s done in a very humorous way.
