Sundari: An Actor Prepares is a film based on the play
by Anuradha Kapur. Jayshankar Sundari was a popular
female impersonator of Gujrati stage in early 20th
century Bombay.
Centered around the works of eminent painters Bhupen
Khakkar and Nilima Sheikh, the film documents the
process of his journey from a boy to a man and
simultaneously from a male to a female, in the context
of contemporary gender discourses and politics of
acting.
