Mita Vashisht opens up about her role in Kasaai

Acclaimed actress Mita Vashist plays Gulabi in Kasaai, a mother fighting to get justice for her son. With a budget to finish the filming in 13 days, multiple scenes had to be shot in a day. Mita says, “When you see the film, you will realise what a phenomenal feat that is to shoot the film in 13 days. I had to knock off really powerful and emotional scenes which had to be subtly emoted at the same time, sometimes three scenes in a day back-to-back.”

The film is now out on digital platform, ShemarooMe. It’s based on a real incident. A gruesome murder takes place during the all-important village elections, but dirty politics leads to the cover up of the crime. When a mother refuses to bow down to pressure and relentlessly fights for justice, the whole façade begins to tumble.
