This Shoojit Sircar-directed romantic drama has Banita essaying the role of Shiuli, Dan aka Varun’s classmate and co-worker who meets with an accident. The tagline that declares ‘this is not a love story’ but is a ‘story about love’ traces Varun’s relentless pursuit of understanding why Shiuli, who’s now in the ICU, was enquiring about him. The UK-born -year old millennial hails from an NRI Punjabi family in South Wales and has TV commercials and short films to her credit. An English Literature student, Banita’s debut marks her second collaboration with Shoojit Sircar following an advertisement shoot for Wrigleys.

Styled by Rahul Vijay who also happens to be the Fashion Editor for Elle India, Banita gave us a stunning glimpse into the millennial style basket! With a petite frame, smart haircut and whiff of confidence, Banita has arrived and how!

The trailer showed Banita display an array of raw emotions as the wheelchair-bound and ill Shiuli, successfully intriguing us.
