Shabana Azmi and Shefali Shah to come together for a medical thriller

Shabana Azmi and Shefali Shah were last seen together in the 2005 National Award winning film, 15 Park Avenue, directed by Aparna Sen. The good news is that they are all set to come together once again. The two will be seen in a television show, a medical thriller which will be set in the interiors of India.


Opening up about the project, producer Vipul Shah told Mumbai Mirror, “Shefali is playing a doctor while Shabana will be essaying the role of her boss and owner of the hospital where she works. The show will revolve around their characters and the unique, conflicted relationship they share.”

He further added, “I’d started developing it as a film but eventually realised that the subject I want to incorporate would not fit in such a short time-frame.” Vipul even revealed that this was when Mozez Singh started building the show on the original concept. “He transformed the story keeping the concept in mind. Also, Ishani Banerjee, who has earlier worked on some great scripts, has also played an important part in the scripting of this.”


The show is expected to go on floors shortly and will be set in cities like Indore and Bhopal. It’s the first time that Vipul Shah will be working with Shabana Azmi on a project.  One may recall that Shefali Shah show on Netflix, Delhi Crime, was much appreciated.
