Kusha Kapila, Actor and Co-Producer, Stars in a Thoughtful Short Film, titled ‘Vyarth’
Mumbai, July 16, 2025: Kusha Kapila takes on a new role that marks a bold departure from the usual with Vyarth, a short film that redefines the rules of casting in the entertainment industry. Not only the lead actor, Kusha is also a co-producer of the venture, highlighting her transition from digital celebrity to serious filmmaker.
A Tale of Reality
Vyarth chronicles Bhumi, an underappreciated actress who is sick of being stereotyped. When she’s asked to play another “mother,” her aspirations are shattered—until a surprise comes along. Her younger roommate, Meenakshi, offers to take her through a rehearsal of the same audition, making Bhumi face reality, much like her struggle against feeling ‘Vyarth’.
Kusha on Her Journey
“This movie is a reflection of the struggle that many actors go through,” says Kusha. “As an actor, it’s about how to say a line. But as a producer, it’s about the larger picture—how everything comes together to make impact.”
She continues, “From creating humorous videos to performing and now producing, this is a natural transition.” It shows how the creative journey can resonate with themes in ‘Vyarth’.
Powerhouse Crew Behind the Camera
The movie is directed and co-produced by Pankaj Dayani (Newton), authored by Fahim Irshad, and cast by Romil Modi (Laapataa Ladies, All We Imagine as Light). Cinematographer Swapnil S. Sonawale (Monica O My Darling) reflects the film’s emotional mood with powerful visuals.
First Look Arriving Soon
The official poster for Vyarth is coming soon, providing audiences with their initial look at this interesting film. With a solid story and innovative spirit behind it, Vyarth is likely to create significant discussions regarding gender, age, and identity in the acting profession, as well as understanding the term ‘Vyarth’ in its broader sense.
