Aanand L Rai, reputed television director is now venturing into Bollywood with his very first film, Strangers, starring Jimmy Shergill, KK Menon, Nandana Sen and Sonali Kulkarni.Having directed shows like ‘Gardish’ on ZEE TV starring Irfan Khan, ‘Kshitij’, a political drama on Sahara One, a telefilm called ONE NIGHT STAND on Star One and recently BOMBAY TALKIES for UTV on Zee Cafe, this is Aanand Rai’s first film venture.
Presented by the banners of Sahara One Motion Pictures, Strangers is an altogether different genre of thriller. Inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s famous film, Strangers on A Train, the movie is about two strangers who meet and decide to assassinate each other’s life partners.
The film is produced by Uday Tiwari and being directed by Aanand L. Rai. The star cast comprises of Jimmy Shergill, Kay Kay Menon and Nandana Sen in pivotal roles whereas Sonali Kulkarni will be seen in a special appearance.
During an overnight journey from Southampton to London, two strangers meet each other and converse with each other. In the process, they come to a mutual conclusion that the only way to come out of their painful life is to get rid of their soul mates. Eventually, they decide that the two of them would kill the other person’s wife.
Rai is leading a life filled with miseries. His son’s untimely death had lead his wife Nandini to a state of madness.
On the other side, there is Rahul who is in complete awe of his wife Preity. Likewise, Rahul is not respected by his wife Preity after the undue crash of his ambitious career. They still live together but behave like strangers do.
What follows is deceit and living by the instinct for all of them. A perfect backdrop of a thriller becomes a building block of two sincere and complete love stories.
