In 2016, Nana Patekar starrer Marathi language drama film garnered wide critical acclaim. The film charted THE JOURNEY of a superstar who falls into anonymity. Now the film gets a Gujarati adaptation under the able aegis of director Jhamu Sungandh. The star cast comprising Sidharth Randeria and Dipika Chikillla Topiwala do perfect justice to their roles. The Marathi super hit managed to win the hearts as it showed a true portrayal of what happens to life once the rose-tinted glasses come off and the new adaptation too strings the same chord with sensitivity.

The story charts an engrossing & rich story of an actor who has SCALED dizzying heights of popularity in his career and goes on to retire at the peak. Harindra Pathak (Siddharth Randeria) is the protagonist who goes on to realize that his popularity & importance stay valid & relevant only till he is onstage. Let down by circumstances & his own blood, Harindra eventually retires to a life of complete obscurity and alienation. The literal title 'emperor among the actors' is ironical as the emperor is reduced to a life on the footpaths where he and his talents remain unrecognizable and uncelebrated. It is an apt corollary for the strange twists & turns that life presents and how we are mere puppets at the hands of destiny.
