Mumbai: Prime Video releases a stunning trailer of the upcoming slice-of-life comedy film Sharmaji’s daughter today. Presented by Applause Entertainment and produced by Ellipsis Entertainment Production, the film is written and directed by Tahira Kashyap Khurrana, and stars Sakshi Tanwar, Divya Dutta and Saiyami Kher in the lead roles, along with Vanshika Taparia, Arista Mehta, Sharib Hashmi and Parvin Dabas in pivotal roles.
The film explores aspirations, dreams, and moments of youth within a multi-generational story of middle-class women from diverse backgrounds. It will premiere exclusively on Prime Video on June 28 in India and across 200 countries and territories.
Tahira Kashyap Khurana, The writer and director of the film shared, “Sharmaji Ki Beti is a dream come true for me. The film is special to me not only because it marks my directorial debut, but also because it gives me the opportunity to explore a subject very close to my heart – women empowerment. The light-hearted, humorous story highlights the everyday struggles, triumphs, and varied experiences of middle-class women. Each character represents a part of my own journey, making it extremely personal. I am thrilled to collaborate with Applause Entertainment and Ellipsis Entertainment, whose support has been invaluable in bringing this vision to life, and I am absolutely thrilled that the film will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in India and in over 200 countries and territories worldwide. I believe this authentic slice-of-life story has the potential to resonate with audiences across the globe, and I am eagerly looking forward to their response.”
Sakshi Tanwar, The actress who brought Jyoti Sharma to life in the film said, “When I first read the script, it evoked a range of emotions within me. From moments of helplessness and sadness to bursts of pride and joy, the film really connected with me as a celebration of modern, new-age women. Sharmaji Ki Beti is a powerful call for women to lift themselves up and be proud of who we are and what we can achieve. My character, Jyoti, reflects the life of millions of women across the world who strive to balance societal expectations with their dreams and aspirations. Although she has a wonderfully supportive partner who believes in her dreams, she struggles with the tantrums and expectations of her teenage daughter. I believe that not only women in India and across the world, but audiences will also love the humorous and relatable approach to important issues such as gender roles, relationships and personal identity. The sensitive portrayal of these themes will touch everyone’s heart.”
Promising a rollercoaster of emotions and laughter, the trailer of Sharmaji Ki Beti takes the audience into the lives of three remarkable women, all of whom have the surname ‘Sharma’, and each facing their own difficult and different challenges.
“I think Sharmaji Ki Beti presents a refreshing story that focuses on the intricacies of everyday life and relationships through the perspective of women from different generations, each with a different personality and outlook towards life. When I read the script, I fell in love with my character Kiran and her beautiful vulnerability. She seems quite playful by nature, but has an undercurrent of strong emotions in her due to the situations she faces in her personal life. Portraying Kiran gave me a chance to explore new facets of my acting abilities that I had not explored before. Tahira’s vision for this film was both clear and inspiring; it was really exciting to work with her and bring this story to life,” shares Divya Dutta, Who is playing the character of Kiran Sharma in the film.
Saiyami Kher, Tanvi said, “Sharmaji Ki Beti has been a very special journey. When Tahira narrated the film to me, I instantly loved it. It was a very refreshing and good feeling after hearing the narration. Tanvi’s role was a liberating reminder that everyone should follow their dreams and passions and not get bogged down by societal pressure. Through Tanvi’s story, the film highlights how many of us go through similar struggles, constantly balancing personal aspirations with societal expectations. It is a relatable story for everyone who has ever felt torn between obligation and dreams, encouraging the audience to find their own path to fulfilment. I am confident that this heartwarming story will connect deeply with everyone who watches it on Prime Video in India and across 200 countries and territories.”
