Harman Baweja, Arati Kadav join hands for new film after 'Mrs.'

Producer Harman Baweja and director Arati Kadav team up again for a new project, following the acclaimed success of their film 'Mrs.' starring Sanya Malhotra.

"I'm excited to have her bring honesty, intelligence, and immense emotional clarity to our fresh collaboration. - Harman Baweja"

Mumbai, Feb 7

Director Arati Kadav has joined hands with producer Harman Baweja once again for a new film, marking their second collaboration following last year's Sanya Malhotra-starrer "Mrs."

Details of the new projects are under wraps at the moment.

"'Mrs.' reaffirmed my belief audiences are ready for audacious cinema that is intimate and transformative all at once," Baweja said, reports variety.com.

"Collaborating with Arati evoked a thrill that you get from being on the same page with someone, while also being challenged. I'm excited to have her bring honesty, intelligence, and immense emotional clarity to our fresh collaboration, which we have the pleasure of announcing on 'Mrs' first anniversary."

He shared that when a collaboration is built on trust and shared intent, you naturally want to create again.

"This next project is born from that very faith, and I'm looking forward to once again pushing boundaries together."

Kadav added: "I feel very happy, safe, inspired, and delighted to work with Harman Baweja. He and his team, including our creative producer Tasneem Lokhandwala, have always helped me do my best. As a team, we have a lot of mutual respect and faith in each other, which I feel is the foundation of a great relationship.

She said that "Mrs." was a great collaboration, and it was because of the team that Baweja Studios brought together for me, including my actress Sanya Malhotra.

"I am actually very happy to collaborate with Harman for the rest of my life. As I said, Baweja Studios feels like home."

"Mrs.," produced by Baweja Studios with backing from Jio Studios' Jyoti Deshpande, earned widespread acclaim, including at Black Nights Tallinn and IFFI Goa, and collected multiple awards across major platforms.

The film reimagined the Malayalam-language cult hit "The Great Indian Kitchen" through a North Indian cultural framework, incorporating traditions like Karwa Chauth while chronicling the gradual erosion of a woman's sense of self.

"Mrs." told the story of a young woman who gets married into a middle-class joint family. Initial happiness soon changes to frustration as she gets extremely busy adjusting to the new domestic responsibilities. She then decides to take corrective action to fulfil her desire.

Glad to see producers backing meaningful cinema. 'Mrs.' was a breath of fresh air in an ocean of remakes and masala films. Hope their new project continues to tell authentic Indian stories. The industry needs more of this.

While I appreciate their creative partnership, I hope their next film has a more original premise. 'Mrs.' was brilliant, but it was an adaptation. Would love to see Arati Kadav's completely original vision next time. Just a thought!

The respect and trust they talk about is so important. It shows in the final product. 'Mrs.' didn't feel preachy, it felt real. That's rare. Wishing them all the best for the new film. Hope it releases soon!

"Baweja Studios feels like home" – this line says it all. When filmmakers have a safe and respectful environment, they create magic. More studios should foster such collaborations. Excited for the announcement! 🤞
