How Rasika Dugal was transported to FTII classroom | The Miniaturist Of Junagadh | Naseeruddin Shah
Rasika Dugal has penned a heart-felt note about working with veteran Naseeruddin Shah in "The Miniaturist Of Junagadh".
Helmed by Kaushal Oza, starring Rasika Dugal, Naseeruddin Shah and Raj Arjun, "The Miniaturist Of Junagadh" has found its way to New York Indian Film Festival.
Rasika Dugal took to social media and wrote a note along with the poster of the film. It read:
“A gently told tale by Kaushal Oza 'The Miniaturist Of Junagadh', is playing at New York Indian Film Festival! Also, the first time I worked with the formidable Naseeruddin Shah. I was transported back to the classroom at FTII... a student again... feeling equal measures of awe and nervousness... still so much to learn. If you are in the USA, the film screens everyday till June 13th. #TheMiniaturistOfJunagadh ...”

The film is set in 1947, when the ravages of Partition have compelled an old artist, Husyn Naqqash, to sell his ancestral home in Western India and move with his family to Karachi, Pakistan.
When Kishorilal, a stoic and stone-hearted man, who has bought the house, comes to know that Husyn is a well-known miniature painter and has an invaluable and rare miniature collection, he schemes to get hold of the collection. But all is not what it seems and there is a secret about the collection that Husyn's family is holding back. Not only from Kishorilal - but also from Husyn!
