The Tenant, which centers on a character played by Shamita Shetty and depicts the tribulations and struggles of a single woman in society, also features Swanand Kirkire, Sheeba Chaddha, and Rudraksh Jaiswal.
Shamita Shetty is preparing to return to the big screen with a contemporary, relatable, and engaging story in ‘The Tenant,’ which will be released in theaters on February 10th, 2023. The makers’ trailer, which was released today, offers a realistic perspective of a single woman engulfed by the harsh realities of society.
Shamita Shetty has always chosen ‘quality over quantity’ in her career across mediums and platforms, delivering performances that have left an impression on the audience. Shamita Shetty’s The Tenant is yet another compelling story.
A social drama written and directed by Sushrut Jain, Shamita Shetty’s The Tenant follows the story of a single, independent woman who rents out a flat in a conservative housing society. She encounters everything from adolescent crushes to adult lust as well as frowns, prejudices, and quick judgments along the way.
Shamita Shetty, who is overjoyed with the premiere shared, “The Tenant is a reflection of society from a modern, independent, single woman’s perspective, with experiences and learnings every woman in India has been subjected to at some point of her life. The compelling backdrop and sensitive as well as realistic narrative of the film connected with me, prompting me to instantly agree to do the film. I truly believe, every woman and the people around her, would deeply resonate with the story, offering a deeper insight into the disturbing, prevailing realities of the society we live in today!”
The filmmaker is equally excited about the release, which has received rave reviews at international film festivals. “It’s a topical subject that has struck a chord across the world. I am pretty sure, my film will find an audience here too,” says Sushrut Jain.
Swanand Kirkire, Sheeba Chaddha, Atul Srivastava, Rudraksh Jaiswal (seen in Extraction alongside Chris Hemsworth), and Harsh Mayar of Gullak fame are among the cast members.
Kanchan Kalra, Daniel Walter, and Sushrut Jain produced The Tenant, which will be released in theaters on February 10, 2023.
