Vijay Sethupathi and Aditi Rao Hydari’s much-anticipated film Gandhi Talks hit the theatres today, January 30. Directed by Kishore Air, the film stands out as a silent black comedy. To mark the release,
Aditi Rao Hydari shared a poster featuring her character and penned a heartfelt note on Instagram.
She wrote, “Gandhi talks released today. A silent film that we all made together, something so new for all of us, directed by Kishore Air, who has spent more than a decade on the storyboard and the nuances.”
Praising the film’s music, she added, “Scored by AR Rahman sir, whose music always transports you into a world you’re happy to live in, where love, goodness and hope win.”
Describing the emotional core of the film, Aditi concluded, “A world where all differences fade away, and what remains is humanity. People who have the time to watch, to feel, to love, to believe…. to hear rhythm in the silences, to sing a song in your head, to feel another person’s heart race and be still. Welcome to our world of silence where Gandhi talks!”

In an interview with Mid-Day, Aditi earlier opened up about her experience of working on the film. Speaking about what touched her the most, Aditi Rao Hydari shared, “What moved me most was how emotions are felt rather than spoken. The film allows vulnerability and silence to coexist beautifully.”
While the film may look like an experiment, for Aditi Rao Hydari, it feels like a return to the bold and fearless characters she truly enjoys.
