The actor, however, feels people who didn't question anything "uncomfortable" until now, have started to talk. "Now it's shaking. We have always suppressed it. But now we are finally having these uncomfortable conversations. It's high time we did. Everything has to start with a conversation."
Guilty is produced by Karan Johar's Dharmatic, the digital content arm of the filmmaker's Dharma Production and helmed by Ruchi Narain. The "Kabir Singh" actor says when she was narrated the script, its story enveloped her, making her constantly think of the film. "The topic is not just relevant but is something that bothers each one of us in a very different way. To be a part of a story that somewhere gave me a character to even voice out a lot of my own thoughts about it, opinions, complications, confusions and all that about a subject as sensitive as this.
"Without being preachy, still telling so much. That for me was really liberating and the story itself, the way Ruchi has written it, the entire narrative, it really holds. It's an immersive experience." "Guilty" happened to her when Kiara had signed big films, including Dharma's Good Newwz and "Shershah", but she never felt that doing a movie for the web would be any less than a theatrical high.
"I believe content comes in every form. If there is a film that I want to watch and I can see myself adding to it in some way, I want to be a part of it. With 'Guilty', it was Dharma doing their first feature film collaboration with Netflix, I had to be a part of it... Today, you have to be relevant. This is the next big step. Lines are blurred today," she adds. Guilty also stars Akansha Ranjan Kapoor, Gurfateh Singh Pirzada and Taher Shabbir among others.
