Revathy is making a return to Hindi cinema with Aye Zindagi. Written and directed by debutant Anirban, the film is set around an organ transplant. Revathy essays the protagonist alongside Satyajeet Dubey.

Aye Zindagi will begin shooting in Mumbai on September 12. Revathy had starred opposite Salman Khan in the 1991 Hindi film, Love. Her last Bollywood appearance was in 2 States (2014).

Speaking about joining Aye Zindagi, Revathy said, "When Anirban narrated the story to me, I was moved by his passion and vision for it. Even though it's a heartening story and a feel-good one too, I know it is going to be a challenging one, for a hospital is not an easy location to shoot an entire film."

Aye Zindagi also has former Miss Kerala Indu Thampy in her Hindi debut, acclaimed Gujarati actor Hemant Kher (Scam 1992), Shrikant Verma, Sawan Tank and Mahesh Sharma.

It is being produced by Shiladitya Bora's Platoon One Films.
