The film, which is a progressive, unrestrained take on modern relationships, is Applause’s first excursion into the big screen, and this second collaboration with Ellipsis (after Tahira Kashyap Khurrana’s Sharmajee Ki Beti) promises to be the perfect date movie in 2022.
Director Shirsha Guha Thakurta says, “When I first heard this story, I was instantly attracted to its universe- honest, funny and so today. The actors have been a dream to work with. Their generosity is something I will always cherish. My producers (Applause and Ellipsis) have been extremely supportive and stood by me like a rock. Yes, I’m nervous, but this journey so far has been truly special.”
