The shooting of Platoon One Films' drama feature Aye Zindagi (Life Finds A Way) is beginning tomorrow in Mumbai. Written and directed by first-time director Anirban, the film is a feel-good human drama.
Aye Zindagi stars veteran actress Revathy and will mark her return to Hindi cinema in a leading role. The film is a drama about life and its many paradoxes. Set around an organ transplant, the film will feature the award-winning actress as the female protagonist alongside Satyajeet Dubey.
The other members of the ensemble cast include former Miss Kerala Indu Thampy in her Hindi film debut, Gujarati actor Hemant Kher, Shrikant Verma, Sawan Tank and Mahesh Sharma.
Anirban said, "As a doctor, people share with me their most intimate secrets, hopes and desires, which gives me a unique window into human existence. I have lived with this story for many years and I am excited to bring it to screen with such a talented cast and crew.
"With this true story of loss, love, grief and redemption, I hope audiences will be able to appreciate the beauty of the human spirit and the life-changing power of ethical organ transplants, where death is not just the end of something, it is also the beginning of a new life."
Revathy shared what drew her to the film: "When Anirban narrated the story to me, I was moved by his passion and vision for it. Though it's a heartening story and a feel-good one, I know it is going to be a challenging one as a hospital is not an easy location to shoot an entire film."
Aye Zindagi is being produced by Shiladitya Bora's Platoon One Films.
