Kirti Kulhari, soon to be seen in Tannishtha Chatterjee’s film *Full Plate*, recently shared insights about her experience working with the actor-turned-director. The film is set to premiere at the 30th Busan International Film Festival.
### A Director’s Influence
Kulhari revealed that she agreed to star in *Full Plate* the moment she learned that Chatterjee would be directing it. “I am so fond of Tannishtha,” Kulhari told *Mid-Day*. “I have not seen her first directorial venture *Roam Rome Mein*, but I believe in her sensibility. When we met to discuss her film, just knowing that it was going to be written and directed by her told me that it would be done right. That made me say yes immediately, even before she finished talking about it.”
### Exploring Meaningful Themes
In *Full Plate*, Kirti Kulhari portrays a homemaker who is an excellent cook. Through this central character, Tannishtha Chatterjee explores profound themes such as gender, faith, identity, and resilience. Kulhari expressed her happiness that Chatterjee saw her in the role of a cook working in people’s homes. “That Tannishtha could envision me as a cook made me so happy,” she shared.
### A Fulfilling On-Set Collaboration
Having previously worked together in the film *Jal* (2010), Kulhari was excited to reunite with Chatterjee on set. Describing her experience as deeply satisfying, she said, “I’ve never felt more satisfied [in my career] than I did while working with her. She is nuanced as an actor, and that gets enhanced when she is directing because she can see so much more. She helped me go deeper to find moments beyond the written lines.”
It’s noteworthy that Chatterjee directed *Full Plate* while bravely battling cancer, showcasing her dedication to the project.
### What’s Next for Kirti Kulhari?
After a busy year, Kulhari will wrap up 2025 with the fourth season of her popular show *Four More Shots Please!*. She teased fans saying, “We knew how important the fourth season would be because the audience would expect us to up our game. That’s exactly what has happened. It’s a spirited and high-energy season with lots of fun.”
