The Divyenndu Sharma-starrer Mere Desh Ki Dharti — which was initially scheduled to be released last year — will now arrive in theatres on 6 May. Produced by Carnival Motion Pictures, it also stars Anupriya Goenka and Anant Vidhaat. The film has been directed by Faraz Haider.
The film is about an engineer Ajay (Sharma) who, after facing setbacks in his career, migrates to a village with his friend (Vidhaat) where he aims to revolutionize the farming sector.
Sharma said in a statement that it’s fascinating to see how audiences react to films that are inspirational and convey a powerful and compelling message. "Mere Desh Ki Dharti has been a long time coming for both us and the audience, and I'm overjoyed that it will be released in theatres on 6 May. On the subject and story, we’ve received some heart-warming feedback from film festivals. Mere Desh Ki Dharti is a brilliant agricultural drama with a lot of comedy. I can’t wait for the audience to see the film and share feedback," he said.
Haider said the film is a realistic and amusing portrayal of the journey of two engineering friends who go on a new adventure in the farming industry. "The story is quite relatable to many young people. The film is incredibly personal to every one of us, and each character has a unique journey and set of emotions that will resonate with the audience," he said.
Vidhaat is known for playing supporting acts in Salman Khan's Sultan (2016), Tiger Zinda Hai (2017) and Bharat (2019).
Mere Desh Ki Dharti also stars Inaamulhaq, Brijendra Kala, Rajesh Sharma, Atul Shrivastava and the late Farrukh Jaffar.
