Lara Dutta, Patralekhaa to star in revenge drama Suryast

Actors Lara Dutta and Patralekhaa have come together for the first time to star in Suryast, a revenge thriller drama.

Directed by Avishek Ghosh, the film has concluded shooting in the UK, the makers said in a statement.

Set in a majestic mansion with sprawling lawns in the UK, Suryast presents a tale of two women who cross paths in an elaborate mind-game of cat and mouse, setting it as the perfect revenge drama, the official plotline read. The movie marks a reunion between Lara and Avishek after they worked on romantic drama film Ishq-E-Nadaan earlier this year.

"It has been an incredible experience on one of the most organised sets. I have never had such an intense shoot physically and emotionally and I will not forget playing Avantika in a long time to come. I am glad that I was given this opportunity to explore playing a character like this. It's been one of the most fulfilling experiences," Lara said.

Patralekhaa, known for Hansal Mehta's CityLights (2014) and web series Bose: Dead/Alive (2017), said she enjoyed being part of Suryast.

"My character has some awesome shades, which I loved playing. I am sure cinema lovers would be in for a treat when the film releases," she added.

The film has been written by Sudeep Nigam, and cinematography has been done by Tiyash Sen.
