Sobhita Dhulipala Stuns on The Hollywood Reporter India Cover

Sobhita Dhulipala (@sobhitad) graces the cover of The Hollywood Reporter India’s October Style and Cinema Issue in a powerful multi-look editorial that mirrors the complex, ambitious women she has portrayed for a decade. Photographed by Vaishnav Praveen (@vaishnavpraveen) of The House Of Pixels (@thehouseofpixels) and styled by Anaita Shroff Adajania (@anaitashroffadajania), the series celebrates her refusal to be neatly defined.

Look 1 – Feathered Drama

“I love women and I’m very inspired by them. I love their complexities, the nuances, and their ability to multitask.”

Look 2 – Sheer Power

From Raman Raghav 2.0 to Vettuvam, Sobhita has spent a decade playing women too messy, too ambitious and too free to be filed away neatly.

Look 3 – Red Authority

“For a long time, women have been defined by the male gaze — the hero’s mother, the hero’s partner. But there’s a large female population that wants to see itself on screen outside that lens.”
