At RIFF 2026, Iti was felicitated by renowned actor, director and producer Makarand Deshpande, in the presence of leading casting director Mukesh Chhabra, Dhurandar fame singer Shahzad Ali, actor Anoop Soni, poet and television personality Shailesh Lodha and several national and international award-winning filmmakers.

Speaking about her Kannada film 4by4, Acharya described it as a powerful narrative centred on four women from different socio-economic backgrounds. The film explores contemporary women’s struggles and stands out as an all-women-led project—both in storytelling and perspective—reflecting a broader shift in Indian regional cinema towards inclusive, socially relevant narratives.

“Women’s struggles have changed with time, and cinema must evolve to reflect those realities. Films have the power to create awareness and spark conversations across cultures and languages,” said Acharya.
