Actor turned director Tisca Chopra is all set to make a debut with ‘Saali Mohabbat’. The movie features Radhika Apte as Smita, a small-town housewife whose seemingly ordinary life unravels into a narrative exploring infidelity, deceit and moral ambiguity.
Where to Watch Saali Mohabbat?
The movie is set to premiere on Indian streaming platform Zee 5 later this year, following festival runs at IFFI Goa and the Chicago South Asian Film Festival. The actual release date is not out as of now.
The thriller-drama stars Radhika Apte, Divyenndu Sharma, Anurag Kashyap, Anshumaan Pushkar, Sauraseni Maitra and Sharat Saxena. The film marks a reunion for Apte with ZEE5 after her previous platform appearance in “Mrs. Undercover.”
Producer Manish Malhotra said, “I’m pleased to announce our second film, Saali Mohabbat. It is a layered, character-driven drama that examines power, silence, and the invisible cost of human choices... We’ve had the privilege of working with an ensemble of exceptionally talented actors, each bringing a distinct rhythm, restraint and truth to their characters."
While Director Tisca Chopra shared, “With Saali Mohabbat, I wanted to tell a story that feels both intimate and unsettling. One that captures a woman’s gaze in a world full of hidden fractures and polite façades. This film explores those fragile boundaries of trust, betrayal and identity but through a deeply female perspective. It’s about what happens when a woman stops conforming to the emotional roles expected of her and begins to own her truth, no matter how uncomfortable that truth might be."
