SUNDARI: AN ACTOR PREPARES is based on a play directed by Anuradha Kapur. Jayshankar was a popular female impersonator of Gujrati stage in early 20th century Bombay. With the aid of his autobiography the play traces his journey as an actor, from a boy to a man and simultaneously from a male to a female. Centered around the works of eminent painters Bhupen Khakkar and Nilima Sheikh, the film documents this process in the context of contemporary gender discourses and politics of acting.
