Karmali Terrace’s Khatazabai The first was staged in Mumbai in 2004 and has been a successful run in the last two decades across the country, and is returning to Bengaluru after about 15 years.
According to Kasar, one of the joy of staging a play in Bengaluru is from its welcome theater community. “However, it is also an audience who steps specially for the show; This drama is not one of many things on its checklist. They come for drama and live back to conversation. That is why I like to bring my pieces to the city – the connections are very rich.”
