Swara Bhasker and Divya Dutta touch heads and clasp hands in the first-look poster of Sheer Qorma. The film, directed by Faraz Arif Ansari, is a queer-themed love story with a ‘backdrop of religion and sexuality.’ Veteran actors Surekha Sikri and Shabana Azmi are also part of the cast.
Faraz directed the 2017 silent film Sisak. He had previously worked with Amol Gupte on Taare Zameen Par (co-writer) and Stanley Ka Dabba (associate director).
Speaking about Sheer Qorma, the filmmaker had earlier shared, “I've been fortunate enough to have grown up around courageous women. Their fight for a more inclusive world inspired Sheer Khurma. I am thankful to Surekha ji, Divya Dutta Swara Bhaskar and Kalyanee Mulay who are bringing to life, the stories of cinema's most underrepresented women.”
Swara Bhasker’s last appearance was in Veere Di Wedding. Divya Dutta will be seen in the upcoming film Jhalki, co-starring Boman Irani and Tannishtha Chatterjee.
