Beginning on strong footing

Chadha says the script’s selection has given them the confidence that they are on the right path. “At Gotham Week, we hope to find like-minded investors and collaborators who will join us in making this film. It is a fresh and feminist story, and I believe Shuchi is a new voice in Indian cinema,” she says. Writer-director Talati hopes to make the movie with an all-women crew. “The film deals with gendered power dynamics and female sexuality, and I always thought the story would resonate internationally.”
