Patralekhaa, who produced the recently-released Netflix film Toaster, will soon be seen on the big screen after a small hiatus, in Heer Sara aur Pondicherry. The film, billed as a road trip drama that also doubles up as a coming-of-age story, additionally features Maanvi Gagroo in the lead.
On Monday, the makers announced May 12 as the unveiling date for their film’s trailer, also sharing that the film’s release date too will be announced with the trailer. Kartik Chaudhary helms direction for the film that is jointly backed by Sony Music India, Maghaa Creations, Opticus Inc, and Next Level Productions.
In an official statement, Kartik said, “The idea for the film came from my solo travels to Pondicherry in the early 2010s. Through the film, I wanted to explore not just a physical journey, but an emotional one. Heer and Sara are both quietly burdened, and their journey becomes deeply internal. I was also drawn to exploring female friendship — the honesty, vulnerability, and beauty of watching two complete opposites slowly build an unbreakable bond.”
The film also features Arif Zakaria, Nishank Verma, and Shveta Salve in the supporting cast. Dinesh Soni serves as the producer while actor-filmmaker Raj Singh Chaudhary (Gulaal, Thar) is on board as the creative producer.
