NH 10
Producer: Phantom Films, Eros International, Anushka Sharma’s Clean Slate Films
Director: Navdeep Singh
Anushka Sharma, who is leading lady of NH 10, has taken the first steps to co-produce this film with Eros International and Phantom Films. The film stars theatre actor Neil Bhoopalam and Darshan Kumar (Mary Kom fame) in the lead roles. The story revolves around a couple’s road trip going awry. The buzz is that NH 10 is a new-age, gritty and power-packed action thriller, while being a stereotype-breaking entertainer. The subject is something that has not been explored before and will stay with the audiences much after the film gets over. A thriller at heart, this one is a story of survival and courage — how a woman, against all odds, manages not just to stick it out but also give it back. This is Navdeep Singh’s second venture as a director, after his critically acclaimed debut film, Manorama Six Feet Under.
