Actors Gurmeet Chaudhary and Sayani Datta’s horror film, The Wife, is a mix of action, romance and drama
While growing up, we often heard tales of supernatural entities lurking around where we lived, just waiting to nab us at the right time. Though many say they’re just urban legends, some say ‘She’ won’t let you go!’ Are you ready to be haunted by your dreams? Well, get ready to watch debutant writer-director Sarmad Khan’s urban horror film, The Wife.
The horror stars Gurmeet Choudhary and debutante Sayani Datta as a married couple who soon after moving into their new apartment find their idyllic life unraveling in the most horrific ways due to the presence of a malevolent spirit. When their relationship crumbles, they realise that they must stick together to not only save their marriage but also their lives. The film is produced by Zee Studios. It’s poster features the lead cast and looks intriguing as it unveils both, romances as well as an ominous undertone running through it.
Shariq Patel of Zee Studios says, “The urban setting and matter-of-fact approach in presenting supernatural events as never seen before on screen makes the film unique. Horror as a genre is fairly untapped and I am sure this film will deliver the thrills it promises”
Gurmeet says, “This is my first solo lead and you’ll get to see me in a whole new and different avatar. The script is fresh and you’ll find the film to be a perfect amalgamation of spine-chilling horror, action, romance, drama and so much more.”
Director Sarmad says, “I think the audience will the unconventionality of this film. Most horror stories tragically are quite predictable, especially for those who love this genre and can end up mostly guessing what’s going to happen next. Yet, with this film, you can’t know anything for sure till you’ve arrived at the end of it.”
Sayani says, “I am a huge fan of this genre and to be able to make my debut in one is the most exciting feeling ever. The entire experience of being a part of such a film has been a very fulfilling one indeed.”
(The film is streaming on Zee5.)
