Radhika Apte is considered as one of the finest actresses of Bollywood today. She has given us a number brilliant performances and now the actress will be donning the hat of director with her debut film Sleepwalkers.
The 30 minute long short film has been produced by Honey Trehan and Abhishek Chaubey’s MacGuffin Pictures and Lalit Prem Sharma of Colosceum. The film will be starring Gulshan Devaiah and Shahana Goswami.
A Mumbai Mirror report quoted Radhika Apte as saying, “It all happened suddenly. I was trying to write a short and Lalit, Honey and Abhishek very kindly decided to produce it right away. I’m learning a lot in the process and open to the outcome.”
Honey Trehan, who has produced Sleepwalkers, told the tabloid, “As a content producer, it was a great subject for us to take forward. Radhika has proven her talent time and again and we are extremely excited to support the uniqueness she has, as a storyteller.”
Producer Abhishek Chaubey said, “Sleepwalkers is a deeply felt and stirring debut by Radhika Apte about something that concerns us all. While we pay lip service to climate change, we seldom accept our own culpability in it. Lalit, Honey and I are extremely proud to be a part of this film by Radhika and quite eager to see the audience experience Sleepwalkers and the other films in our anthology Lost and Found soon.”
Colosceum had earlier produced Neeraj Ghawan’s Juice and Kanu Behl’s Binnu Ka Sapna. Macguffin had earlier produced actor-turned-director Konkona Sen Sharma’s highly acclaimed A Death in the Gunj.
