Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’s director to make women-centric film

Mumbai: Akshay Kumar starrer Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’s director, Shree Narayan Singh is currently working on his next film with Shahid Kapoor. Reportedly, Shree's Mukambika Pictures and Prernaa Arora’s Kriarj Entertainment is teaming up for the women-centric film titled, Jasmine - story of a leased womb. Shree, who gave Bollywood a responsible message-driven film in the the form of Toilet Ek Prem Katha will be producing, along with Prernna Arora, another social issue-based story. However, the film will be helmed by a new director. The story has been scripted by Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’s writer-duo Siddharth-Garima.

On their collaboration, Shree said, “Very happy to collabrate with Kriarj once again. I have always wanted to work on a women-centric film and finally I am able to do so."

The film is based on the concept of motherhood. 9 months of pregnancy, 9 days of Navratri. It represents the circle of life and hence is called the ‘garbha.’ The dance form is actually the celebration of the womb. Jasmine is the celebration of an emotion, otherwise taken for granted - Motherhood.

Jasmine will start rolling by 2018. The cast is expected to be announced shortly.
