Aditi Rao Hydari on her silent film ‘Gandhi Talks’ with Vijay Sethupati and Arvind Swamy: 'Emotions are felt rather than spoken'

Aditi Rao Hydari’s upcoming film, ‘Gandhi Talks’, a silent one, isn’t a risky experiment but a natural part of her artistic journey. Over the years, she has worked with filmmakers as different as Mani Ratnam and Sanjay Leela Bhansali, adapting to their contrasting styles while staying true to her own craft. With every role, Hydari has evolved, impressed, and left a lasting mark on audiences.As reported by Mid-day, the cast of ‘Gandhi Talks’ opened up about their special experiences working on the silent film. Vijay Sethupathi shared, "Gandhi Talks challenged me to express emotion without words. It's a rare film where silence becomes the strongest dialogue." Adding to this, Arvind Swami reflected, "In a world drowning in noise, Gandhi Talks reminds us that silence can still shake a conscience. This is a film where words step aside and truth walks in quietly. Rahman's genius music becomes its language." Meanwhile, Aditi Rao Hydari spoke about what touched her most, saying, "What moved me most was how emotions are felt rather than spoken. The film allows vulnerability and silence to coexist beautifully."In the trailer, Aditi appears alongside South star Vijay Sethupathi, and fans are loving their natural on-screen chemistry. With A.R. Rahman’s music adding depth and Kishor Pandurang Belekar directing, ‘Gandhi Talks’ may look like an experiment but for Aditi, it feels like a return to the bold and fearless roles she truly enjoys. The film is set to release worldwide on January 30, 2026.
