I admired the performance of Sunny Kaushal as Jaggi in Shiddat. After that, I was looking forward to knowing what the actor picks next as his project. And today Lionsgate India Studios revealed that the actor will be starring along with Neetu Kapoor and Shraddha Srinath in their first feature film. The project will be directed by Milind Dhaimade. The film will showcase a unique bond between a mother and son with Neetu Kapoor in a never-before-seen avatar.

On being the part of the project, the actor says…
The moment I read the script, I knew it’s a special film that I just had to be a part of! It is an ode to all the mothers, their wishes, and their sacrifices! I am really looking forward to working with Milind sir, Lionsgate India Studios and Neetu ji on this special project!
On elaborating about the character, Neetu says…
When I read the script, I fell in love with it. It goes beyond the regular mother-son story and explores a different side that sets a unique tone to the rom-com genre. I am excited to be part of Lionsgate Studios’ first production, in a movie I believe will touch hearts and remain close to my heart.
Speaking about the script Shraddha Srinath shares…
This is a sweet, warm, delightful script. I remember smiling from ear to ear while reading it. We are all so busy watching and making dark, thrilling, and mind-bending content; there aren’t enough films that focus on moments and relationships and the simplicity of life. I’d watched Milind sir’s previous work way before I met him and truly enjoyed watching Tu Hai Mera Sunday. I’m glad Lionsgate India Studios sees the film for the gem that it is. I can’t wait to breathe life into the character and create magic on screen. Really fortunate to be part of this project.
This untitled, coming-of-age story will capture the beautiful and relatable relationship between a mother and her son. Using comedy as its main premise, the film delves into the integral fabric of families, communication, and memories, as well as their role in forcing us to grow up.
On collaborating with such talented artists, director Milind Dhaimade says…
For me, it’s very critical who is partnering with you in creating the film, since a film is made even before it goes on the floor. All the ingredients that are necessary to put the film together have already been decided. I feel in this aspect Lionsgate India Studios’ vision for the film, along with a stellar cast will be wonderfully refreshing. This is a mother-son relationship that will resonate with everyone irrespective of region, and our casting will help audiences across India connect to a relatable story.
Film and television studio Lionsgate has made a quiet but impactful entry in India. Since last year, the studio has produced a unique slate; be it an urban slice of life comedy Hiccups & Hookups to intense young adult drama Jugaadistan, or the bromantic hangover of four boys Feels Like Home, Lionsgate in India is selecting stories that resonate with an eclectic global audience.
With such an impressive cast and interesting subject, I think the film is going to be a big family entertainer.
