What happens

Natsamrat (transl. The King of Theater or The Emperor of Actors) is a 2018 Indian Gujarati-language drama film starring Siddharth Randeria and Deepika Chikhalia in the leading role. The film is the remake of Marathi film of the same name starring Nana Patekar, which is based on Marathi play by V. V. Shirwadkar. Before making it to the big screen, Randeria has adopted the screen play to a Gujarati-language stage play named Amari Duniya, Tamari Duniya in 2007, with many known faces of Gujarati theatre including Randeria himself, Jimmit Trivedi, and Disha Savla-Upadhyay. The story of the film is about an actor who has reached many heights in his career, but has to retire from acting at the peak. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
