Mumbai: In a new yet-to-be-titled flick by national award-winning filmmaker Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury, Pankaj Tripathi, Sanjana Sanghi and Parvathy Thiruvothu are to join the cast.
The film, touted as an investigative drama with a heart-warming story of a dysfunctional family coming together, is currently being shot in Mumbai and will later be shot in Kolkata.
"There are reasons why I agreed to do this film. First, I've read a lot of scripts lately, and this one was one of the most amazing ones. Secondly, I've always wanted to work with Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury who is a very fine director." said Pankaj Tripathi.
The story has been jointly written by Viraf Sarkari, Ritesh Shah and Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury, and is slated to release in 2023.
For Parvathy Thiruvothu, who was recently seen in the streaming movie 'Wonder Women', the untitled film "is a massive opportunity to dismantle and unlearn."
The actress said, "That's always an amazing and scary process so you need people you can do a sort of trust fall while you create a character so perceptive. That's the best part for me about joining the team."
"It was that rare moment every artist craves for, to hear a story that you resonate and connect with so deeply and instantly, and one that reminds you why you became an actor in the first place. To be collaborating with Pankaj Sir in our father-daughter drama directed by Tony Da, is a confluence of many beautiful forces and such an incredible honour. I can't wait to bring our pure yet complex tale to our audiences." Said actress Sanjana Sanghi.
The film also stars Jaya Ahsan, Dilip Shankar, Paresh Pahuja and Varun Buddhadev.
The movie is being produced by Wiz Films, KVN and HT Content Studio. It's a Wiz Films Production in association with Opus Communications.
