Swastika starts shooting for Arjunn’s ‘Shrimati’

Swastika Mukherjee has started shooting for talented director Arjunn Dutta’s upcoming ‘Shrimati’. It’s a sweet and charming family drama where Swastika plays Shrimati, an upper middle class, simple, fun-loving housewife, a little disorganised but madly in love with her husband Anindya (Soham). Shrimati is also infatuated by all the glitz and glamour of elite society life and slowly losing her own identity.
“Women always don’t need to be a ‘REBEL’ to get what they deserve. Their family, husbands, kids simply owe it to them. Cheers to all the Shrimatis who keep doing their thankless jobs and hugs to the women and men behind them,” said the excited actress while speaking about the film.
Beside Swastika and Soham in the lead, the film also has Debjani Chatterjee as Pratima the mother-in-law, Trina Saha as Shrimati's sister-in-law Brishti and Kheya Chattopadhyay as the housemaid Kajol. Bollywood actor Barkha Bisht Sengupta, will be seen in a cameo role of Mallika in the film.
"In today's malevolent world, where the outer appearance means everything Shrimati falls prey to the cliched dilemma between a good personality and outward appearance. She becomes obsessed and in the process almost loses her mind and identity until the sudden realisation dawns upon her that irrespective of the way people think and the way the world goes, one should never forget the soul that dwells within," explains Arjunn while sharing the basic idea behind his upcoming film.
