Renowned actress Yukti Kapoor, celebrated for her stellar performances in television hits like Keh Doon Tumhein, Siya Ke Ram, Agneephera, and Madam Sir, is thrilled to announce the premiere of her latest film, Break The Silence: Evil Within Us, at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival (Festival De Cannes Marche Du 2024). Produced by Minara Films and directed by Hemant Chauhan, the film also stars Anupriya Goenka, Rohit Phatak, and Priya Raina.
Yukti Kapoor’s role in Break The Silence: Evil Within Us marks a significant departure from her television persona, showcasing her versatility and depth as an actress. Speaking about the film, Yukti shared, “When I got a call from the casting director, Sabir, he mentioned that the character had a mental disorder. Normally, characters are bubbly, revengeful, or agitated, but this one was different. I knew that if I acted too exaggerated, it would come across as funny, which I wanted to avoid. I approached the role carefully to ensure it felt authentic and elicited empathy for the character’s struggles. I put a lot of thought into striking that balance. Now, seeing the recognition we’re receiving, I’m thrilled. I can’t wait for the film to be available on an OTT platform so everyone can watch it and share their feedback. Working with Hemant sir was an amazing experience. He’s a fantastic director who really gives you space to perform. When a director makes you feel comfortable, it makes all the difference. So overall, it was a rewarding and enjoyable experience.”
Yukti also expressed her gratitude towards producer Minara Akter for the opportunity to play such a challenging character.
Reflecting on her film’s selection for Cannes, Yukti said, “It was a dream of mine to have my film recognized and showcased in Cannes. It’s an incredible honor. It signifies a major milestone not just in my career but also on a deeply personal level. The actor in me feels immensely fulfilled.”
Director Hemant Chauhan shared his excitement about the premiere, stating, “This film is very close to my heart, and I am honored to have it premiere at such a prestigious platform. The issues we address in the movie are universal, and I hope it resonates with audiences globally.”
Break The Silence: Evil Within Us promises to captivate audiences with its intense storyline and exceptional performances, solidifying Yukti Kapoor’s place as a formidable talent in the film industry. The film’s premiere at Cannes is a testament to its compelling narrative and artistic excellence.
Fans and critics alike eagerly await the film’s release on OTT platforms, where Yukti Kapoor’s performance is sure to receive widespread acclaim.
