Sakshi Tanwar, Divya Dutta & Saiyami Kher To Star In Tahira Kashyap's Debut Directorial Feature Film 'Sharmaji Ki Beti'
Mumbai, August 19, 2021: Applause Entertainment continues to make rapid strides with its slate of movies, and partners with Ellipsis Entertainment to announce Tahira Kashyap Khurrana's debut directorial feature film, Sharmji Ki Beti, a warm and reel peek into the lives of urban women, all with the common surname, Sharma. ## This relatable, multi-generational ensemble comedy-drama about the modern, middle-class female experience will be headlined by supremely talented actresses like Sakshi Tanwar, Divya Dutta & Saiyami Kher as leads. The film, while true to India, also promises to resonate with Gen Z, Millennials, and Boomers across the world, represented by the various Sharmas in the film. ## A slice-of-life rollercoaster of aspirations, fantasies, families, inadequacies, coming of age, and heartbreak, Sharmaji Ki Beti may be a story of Sharmas, but promises to strike a chord with people from all walks of life, being a story of mothers, daughters, partners, friends and ultimately, womanhood - the perfect antidote to the default male gaze that dominates popular cinema. ## "Can't believe it's finally happening. Gratitude to all those people who are bringing my dream, the story so close to my heart to life. It's too good to be true but I guess 'winter always turns to spring'. This film has seen me through various states & stages of life but with the support of like-minded people we just didn't give up!"
