After the success of his first film, Toilet Ek Prem Katha, director Shree Narayan Singh is all set to make his second film in collaboration with KriArj Entertainment.
According to sources, the film is titled Jasmine and is said to be a women-centric film. Like Toilet Ek Prem Katha, which was a film on a social issue, Jasmine too is based on a social issue. Set in the ’90s in Gujarat, Jasmine is touted to be an unprecedented journey of a girl to motherhood and what happens when a mother falls in love with a child who is not even her own.
This time the issue is ‘leased womb’ or surrogacy as we call it. The film is written by Siddharth – Garima. “ The concept was brought by Siddharth and Garima to the producers after 3 years of research and the script is ready to roll now. Very happy to collaborate with Kriarj once again. I have always wanted to work on women-centric film and finally, I am able to do so,” said Shree.
Jasmine is the journey of a girl to motherhood! “9 months of pregnancy, 9 days of Navratri, ever thought about the circular formation during the Navratri celebrations? Well, it represents the circle of life and hence is called the ‘GARBHA ‘. the dance form is actually the celebration of the womb. ‘Jasmine Patel’ is the celebration of an emotion, otherwise taken for granted – Motherhood. Living in the times of modernity, progress and scientific marvels, we’ve turned more pragmatic as a race with little value attached to emotional bonds. What happens when emotions go haywire and rule above all practicality? What happens when a mother falls in love with a child who is not even her own? This is the story of an eternal love between a mother and a child. This is the story of one of the biggest battles between the heart & the mind,” adds Shree.
While the cast will be announced shortly, the film will start rolling by 2018.
