Yami Gautam‘s upcoming film ‘A Thursday’ has now commenced shooting. Moreover, some exciting new members have joined the cast of the direct-to-digital film from Ronnie Screwvala.
Alongside Yami Gautam who plays the lead role, ‘A Thursday’ will star Neha Dhupia, Dimple Kapadia, Atul Kulkarni and Maya Sarao. The film is a psychological thriller written and directed by Behzad Khambata.
The story of the film follows Naina Jaiswal (Yami), who is a playschool teacher by profession as she takes 16 toddlers as her hostages on a thursday. Ronnie Screwvala had earlier described ‘A Thursday’ as a film that will bring forth our society’s failures through the perspective of a middle class playschool teacher, much like it did in his film ‘A Wednesday’ through a common man dissatisfied with the governing authorities.
Usually seen in positive lead and supporting roles, for a change, Yami will be seen in a strong and fierce gray character in ‘A Thursday’. The film has been produced by Ronnie Screwvala of RSVP Films and Premnath Rajagopalan of Blue Monkey Films.
The OTT platform as well as the release date for ‘A Thursday’ still remains to be revealed. Stay tuned to binged.com for more info on the film!
