Salman Khanana Difficultiesu, a Kannada play by Vykhari Theatre, revolves around the life of a fangirl, her family, friends, and neighbours. The play tells the story of Rekha Rani, a teenager who is a big fan of Bollywood actor Salman Khan. Rekha is eager not to miss his film, but a crisis arises in her family, turning everything upside down. Amidst a turmoil of events, the play delves into whether the teenager will manage to watch the movie and how.
Directed by Surabhi Vasishta, the play is an adaptation of a short story from a book with the same title by M.S. Sriram, author and faculty at the Centre for Public Policy, Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore (IIMB). The play stars a bunch of talented actors including Shashank Rajashekar, Aahan Gowda, Sushmita Rudresh and others.
Talking to The Hindu, Ms. Vasishta said, “We have all been through a lot since the pandemic. Most of my plays are very heavy, and I wanted to do a light and fun piece, wherein the audience could go back home with a smile on their faces.”
