Director Khayam Khan states, “Growing up in multicultural Britain, I felt connected to Sanjay`s struggles. He chases acceptance through the `cool kids,` but it`s the unassuming lessons from these underprivileged youngsters that show him his true potential. The film explores the gap between who we think we are and who we truly become when we embrace our authentic selves.”
Talking about her experience shooting for the film, `Piku` actor Swaroopa Ghosh said, “The nuanced placement of the character within the broader narrative framework and the gradual revelation of the character`s complexity through the narrative reveals a layered value system. This subtle positioning speaks volumes about the complexities of reality and the inherent ambiguity of right and wrong.”
Saaj, alongside a talented cast including Nikkita Chadha, Lucy Jackson, and Bollywood veterans like Harish Khanna, Swaroopa Ghosh and Pawan Chopra breathes life into this narrative.
The film further boasts an ensemble cast featuring Sudha Bhuchar from `Mary Poppins Returns` and Chizzy Akudolu from `Holby City,` alongside Indian actors Rajiv Kumar Aneja, and Sachin Chaudhary.
Written by Shirley Day and produced by Nicola Gregory, Dean Charles and Sheila Nortley under K Squared Films, 2HotFilms & Emineo Films, `A Game of Two Halves` promises an emotionally charged journey with international distribution by Platoon One Films.
