In the first four months of the year, Dia Mirza featured in Nadaaniyan and witnessed her acclaimed series Kaafir being re-released as a film. However, what truly excites her about 2025 is her return to film production. Having made her debut as a producer with Love Breakups Zindagi in 2011 and backing two more projects since, Dia is now set to produce again after a six-year gap.
Dia Mirza opens up on returning to production after 6 years: “I’m looking for diversity and stories that represent powerful, incredible women in unique ways”
“The writing [on my next] has been in full swing. Hopefully, we’ll begin the project soon. I’m looking for diversity and stories that represent powerful, incredible women in unique ways. If nobody is making them, I will,” she says with a smile.
Dia Mirza continues to receive numerous acting offers, but it’s the lack of truly inspiring roles that bothers her. These days, she says “no” more often—and with greater conviction. With a 24-year-long career behind her, she no longer feels the pressure to accept every opportunity that comes her way.
She stated, “I came from a humble background and moved to Mumbai at a young age. When you’re seeking financial independence, at that stage of your life, you say yes to everything. It takes a certain kind of security to reach a point where you recognise that you have more than you need, that you can continue to hone your craft and don’t need to say yes to crap.”
Dia Mirza’s recent film choices not only showcase her professional values but also mirror her personal activism and beliefs. Reflecting on this, she shared, “It comes from the understanding that being an artiste is about driving change. I’m perhaps a better actress today as many of my life experiences taught me to empathise more deeply with my characters.”
