The trailer of Sobhita Dhulipala’s 'Love, Sitara', a slice-of-life family drama that explores the intricacies and complexities of modern relationships, dropped recently.
Tara (Dhulipala) can be seen saying that she is ready for marriage, even though she was against it earlier. She is an independent interior designer and getting married to Arjun (Rajeev Siddhartha), a passionate chef. However, their seemingly ideal relationship is put to the test. When the preparations for marriage begin at Tara's home, several hidden truths start creating issues. 'Love, Sitara' delves into the difficulties of modern relationships and how it is important to open up and share the truth to nurture close bonds.
Sobhita talked about her role and the concept behind the film: "Playing Sitara has been a very meaningful journey for me, a coming-of-age in real life. Sitara is a character with interesting complexes – a successful interior designer attempting to understand the reasons for her own choices, her family dynamics and the patterns we inherit from family, unknowingly."
Asked about what prompted her to take up the project, she said, "What drew me to this role is that it's the story of a girl who finds the courage to shatter her conditioning and be honest to herself no matter what. She is a family girl at heart and will stand for what she believes in, even if it is not easy. There is something dignified, relatable and real in Sitara's personality that all women connect to."
