Actors Jimmy Shergill and Divya Dutta will be seen in a psychological relationship drama titled Tum Rahe Na Tum. The film will be directed by Prem Prakash Modi.
Produced by Vinni Chawla and Sonu Katyal under their banner Fanatically Filmi Pvt. Ltd., the film is an adaptation of Swedish playwright August Strindberg’s landmark play The Father. As per a press note shared by the makers, “the film transposes the emotional and psychological core of Strindberg’s work into an intimate Indian family setting, exploring love, control, insecurity, parental expectations, toxic masculinity and ego, and how these forces can gradually reshape relationships.”
“Tum Rahe Na Tum is an intimate exploration of relationships and the emotional spaces people inhabit within a family. I wanted to look at what happens when love, expectations, insecurity, ego and ideas of masculinity begin to affect the way people see each other. The film is rooted in a very Indian family setting, but the emotions are universal,” said director Prem, while describing the film.
Speaking about what made her say yes to the film, Divya said, “What attracted me to the film was that nobody in this family is completely innocent or completely guilty. It is a very human, uncomfortable and layered story, and that complexity is what made the film particularly compelling for me.”
“Tum Rahe Na Tum immediately drew me in because of how deeply human and emotionally complex it is. It is the kind of story that makes you question what you see, what you believe and how people can experience the same relationship very differently,” added Jimmy.
The cast also includes Harsh Chhaya, along with Zarina Wahab and Rajesh Jais in pivotal roles.
