After being screened at film festivals like the Cardiff International Film Festival and the Rajasthan International Film Festival earlier this year, Ram Kamal Mukherjee's film Season's Greetings is arriving on Zee5 on 15 April. Actor Azhar Khan makes his debut in the film as actress Celina Jaitly's boyfriend.
Sharing his excitement about the film's online release, Khan said, "It is thanks to my director Ram Kamal Mukherjee and my leading lady Celina Jaitly that we have United Nations Free and Equal supporting our film. I had gay friends in my school and college, but I never had an opportunity to interact with transgenders in my life."
The film, which is a tribute to legendary Bengali filmmaker Rituparno Ghosh, also stars Lillette Dubey and Shree Gatak.
"This film is all about hope and happiness," Khan added. "When you will see the film you will realize that every character in [their] own way is trying to bring in certain changes in the society. Maybe it's not underlined like a regular commercial film, but the nuances are there. I am sure people like Usmaan and Romita exsists in our society. It's so relatable that you will feel emotionally connected with all of them."
