Internet personality Kusha Kapila is gearing up for the release of her latest project, the short film Vyarth. The trailer has been released, giving audiences a first look at the film ahead of its premiere on July 19. This project marks a new phase in Kapila’s career, as she not only plays a key role on screen but also contributes behind the scenes as a co-producer.
Kusha Kapila gets personal about Vyarth; says, “Not just a role I wanted, it was a story I had to tell”
Marking a shift from her popular comedic content, Vyarth features Kusha Kapila in a more serious role. The film reflects her growing interest in exploring new storytelling formats and contributing to cinema beyond digital comedy. With this project, she signals a conscious move toward more diverse and meaningful narratives, aligning with a broader trend of creators branching out into deeper, long-form storytelling.
Vyarth follows the story of Bhumi, a struggling actress frustrated with being typecast in predictable roles. Her hopes take a hit when she’s offered the part of a mother—something she sees as a step back. The narrative takes an unexpected turn when her younger flatmate, Meenakshi, asks for help with the same audition. The newly released trailer offers a glimpse into this layered storyline, touching on themes of ambition, disillusionment, and the complexities of creative careers. Blending moments of poignancy with subtle humour, the film appears to explore both the absurdities and emotions of the acting world.
As the trailer of her film dropped, Kusha responded, “The moment I got my hands on the Vyarth script- just 17 powerful pages- I felt an instant, undeniable pull. It wasn’t just a story; it was a mirror reflecting so many unspoken realities that resonated deeply within me. I knew then and there that this wasn’t just a role I wanted to play, but a story I absolutely had to bring to life. There’s something incredibly universal about its theme, and I genuinely believe that everyone who watches Vyarth will find a piece of themselves, or someone they know, within its intricate layers.”
The film Vyarth explores various facets of the film industry. It highlights the struggles of independent filmmakers creating short films to make ends meet, the often-overlooked and thankless role of casting directors, and the poignant truth of aspiring actors whose relentless pursuit of a career in film industry can ultimately prove futile.
People are both excited and intrigued to see what Kusha Kapila brings to the table. This film promises to offer a new take on typecasting, a cinematic practice which often boxes actors into a specific type of role or at times a particular genre.
