Glad that movies with strong female protagonists are being well received by audiences,
“Surkhaab” producer Vivek Kumar says the film, “with its talented star cast and gripping story is sure to strike a chord with the Indian diaspora across the globe”.
“Additionally, the response from the international festival circuit has been over-whelming and I’m sure that the evolving Indian audience will enjoy the film as well,” he added.
The movie explores underlying themes of globalisation, cross immigration and women empowerment.
Talreja says the aim of the movie is “to touch upon the theme of women empowerment and problems concerning migration” and he hopes “audiences will be able to relate to the story of an underdog who emerges triumphant against all odds”.
