Pulkit Samrat, Jim Sarbh, Kriti Kharbanda star in Bejoy Nambiar’s Taish

Director Bejoy Nambiar’s next venture, titled Taish, will release both as a film and six-part web-series from 29 October on Zee5.

The project stars Pulkit Samrat, Harshvardhan Rane, Jim Sarbh, Kriti Kharbanda and Sanjeeda Sheikh.

Nambiar told the news agency Indo-Asian News Service (IANS) that Taish is a test of human emotions and our perseverance in fighting odds stacked against us. "It is a revenge drama that surrounds two families and an incident that ignites a storm. With love and revenge as motif, the story will take you through an emotional wild ride. This has been a passion project from the word go and I really hope the audience acknowledges our labour of hard work [sic],” he said.

Samrat has a different way of describing the film. “All I can say about Taish is the madness that will grip the audience. The characters have lots of passion and that is extremely evident throughout the story. Taish will take us all on a journey,” he told the agency.

Kharbanda believes this film will strike a chord with the youth. “Millennials will absolutely relate to the story. Everyone has been to a wedding that has its share of drama and madness. Relationships will be tested and trust will be broken,” she told the agency.
