Juhi Chawla's 'Sukhmani' to release Feb 12

Mumbai, Jan 29 : Juhi Chawla-starrer Punjabi film 'Sukhmani- Hope of Life' is all set to hit the theatres Feb 12.

The film, produced by Sai Loksangeet Pvt Ltd, star Gurdas Maan, Divya Dutta, Anoop Soni and Bhagwant Maan, along with Juhi.

Sukhmani- Hope of Life is a story based on the Journey of Major Kuldeep Singh, played by Gurdas Maan, a decorated officer of the Para Battalion, who overcomes personal trauma and social indignity to uphold the morals of the army and the honour of a woman rejected by society and family, while keeping alive the memory of his beloved daughter Sukhmani.

Commenting on his role in the film Gurdas Maan said, "Sukhmani is a very special film to me in many ways starting from the film marking debut of my wife as a director to my hat trick with Juhi Chawla. This film is made in the memory of my two dear friends Manoj and Suraj whom I have lost. I hope people will like the film and its plot."

According to the makers of the film, Sukhmani shows that both good and evil lie within each man, however when faced with exceptional circumstances each acts differently. It shows that sometimes an individual has to make choices that are not always accepted by society.

"For the third time I have joined the unit of Sai Loksangeet Pvt Ltd. but this time, with Manjeet as the captain of the ship. It has been a wonderful experience for me. This film is very close to my heart as the story takes you in to a world of emotions which would capture your heart and mind totally. I wish we have such projects ahead also," said Juhi.

The music in the film is by Jaidev Kumar and the lyrics are written by Gurdas Maan himself.
