A Doctor Becomes An Actress!

‘I
don’t
have
a
film
background
at
all.
This
was
the
first
I
was
presented
on
camera.’


Rediff.com‘s
Mayur
Sanap,
Hitesh
Harisinghani
and
Afsar
Dayatar
report
from
the
trailer
launch
of
the
Marathi
film,

26
November.

The
makers
of
the
upcoming
Marathi
film

26
November
(read
as

Savvis
November)
launched
the
trailer
last
week.

Deemed
as
‘relevant
social
commentary
wrapped
in
an
entertaining
story’,
the
film
underlines
the
significance
of
November
26
as

Samvidhan
Divas
(Constitution
Day),
a
historically
significant
date
when
the
Constituent
Assembly
of
India
formally
adopted
the
Constitution
in
1949.
The
film
also
honours
Dr
B
R
Ambedkar,
the
chief
architect
of
the
Constitution.

Debutant
director
Sachin
Urade
said
that
Constitution
Day
is
as
important
as
August
15
(Independence
Day)
and
January
26
(Republic
Day),
and
his
film
is
dedicated
to
everyone
who
believes
in
the
power
of
our
Constitution.

“26
November
is
just
not
a
film
but
a
reminder
of
the
power
of
our
Constitution
and
Babasaheb’s
(BR
Ambedkar)
great
thoughts.
I
am
glad
that
the
film
has
turned
out
to
be
the
way
I
imagined,”
the
director
said.

The
film
is
led
by
Aniket
Vishwasrao,
Sayaji
Shinde,
Anjali
Ujawane
and
debutante
Jui
Jawade,
a
medical
professional
who
makes
her
foray
into
films.

“I
am
a
doctor.
I
don’t
have
a
film
background
at
all.
This
was
the
first
I
was
presented
on
camera,”
Jui
said
about
her
acting
debut.

“There
was
no
audition
for
me
before
I
was
brought
on
board
for
this
film.
It
was
a
huge
experiment.
Everyone
on
sets
would
tell
me,
‘You
can
do
it,
we
are
with
you.’
It
really
motivated
me,”
she
added.
