Finding the perfect actor for the character of Frida was a “whole other journey” for Kravitz. The actor-filmmaker said, “She’s many things at once. You never get a real handle on who she is. How manipulative is she? How unaware? Is she the villain? Is she the victim? There’s so many different elements to that character.”

Ackie remembers that what was supposed to be an initial chat with Kravitz turned into a two-hour conversation around the ideas of the film. “There was a lot that conversation brought up for me around the idea of the pursuit of power, about sexual assault, but also about Frida’s want for something more,” Ackie said.

The two talked about Frida as quite an “interesting, imperfect character, and how that made her a really an interesting victim”. 

The film will hit cinemas in India today
