Starring Pratik Gandhi, short film ‘Shimmy’ will premiere on September 17 on Amazon MiniTV. It also features Chahat Tewani, Bhamini Oza Gandhi and is written and directed by

Disha Noyonika Rindani. ‘Shimmy’ is produced by Guneet Monga and Achin Jain, the power duo whose banner Sikhya Entertainment has churned out remarkable titles like ‘Pagglait’, ‘The Lunchbox’ and ‘Masaan’ among others.

A father-daughter duo tale, it is about a particularly hard day in the life of a young girl (played by Chahat Tewani) and her father (played by Pratik Gandhi) who can’t quite understand what’s troubling her.

The ‘Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story’ actor is also set to make his Bollywood debut with ‘Bhavai’, which will release theatrically on October 1. It is a film about two people who work in a Ram Leela and how it affects their personal life. It also stars Aindrita Ray, Rajendra Gupta, Rajesh Sharma, and Abhimanyu Singh in pivotal roles.

Amazon Mini TV has other short films in the pipeline that it says will be announced and released over the coming months on the service, made available to watch for free, for millions of Amazon customers across India.
