Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s latest film I'm Not an Actor is making waves as it prepares to be showcased at the 2025 Cinequest Film Festival in California. The film, directed by Aditya Kripalani, will be screened in March 2025, marking a significant milestone for the movie and its team. The announcement has generated a lot of buzz, as fans eagerly anticipate this global recognition for a project that pushes the boundaries of filmmaking.
Aditya Kripalani, who also wrote, directed, and produced the film, shared his excitement and behind-the-scenes insights on Instagram. Reflecting on the unique process of making I'm Not an Actor, Kripalani revealed that the film was shot live across two countries—India and Germany—with a crew based in Mumbai and Frankfurt. In an innovative approach, Kripalani directed the scenes remotely, using two iPads—one showing the live frame from India and the other from Frankfurt. The challenge of ensuring perfect continuity, including matching sunlight and time zones, was an exhilarating experience for the director. He shared his excitement with fans: “Quite an experience,” he wrote, highlighting the ingenuity required to seamlessly pull off this international collaboration.
The film stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Chitrangada Satarupa in pivotal roles, with an ensemble cast that includes Naveen Kasturia, Ayushi Gupta, Yasir Iftikhar Khan, Meenakshi Arundhati, and Vibhawari Deshpande. The production boasts an exceptional team, including cinematographers Rishika Baruah and Sumit Singh, editors Hrishikesh Petwe, and a memorable original score by Aditi Ramesh and Amlan Ray. With contributions from key figures like Sweta Chhabria Kripalani, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Faizuddin Siddiqui as producers, and an extensive crew managing everything from sound design to costume design, I'm Not an Actor has been a true labor of love.
The film’s journey is a testament to how modern filmmaking can transcend borders, combining technology and creativity to tell a unique story. As I'm Not an Actor heads to the Cinequest Film Festival, it’s clear that this film will not only captivate audiences but also further cement Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s status as a versatile actor and Aditya Kripalani’s vision as a director. The film's international recognition at such a prestigious festival promises an exciting future, and with the director’s heartfelt thanks to his collaborators—like Nikhil Mahajan, Julia Novik, and Aarti Bajaj—it's clear that this project holds immense personal significance.
