Ronnie Screwvala and Siddharth Roy Kapur reunite with PIHU
RSVP and Roy Kapur Films to join hands for this path breaking film – Pihu, directed by national award winner Vinod Kapri, all set to release on 3rd August 2018.
Known to have backed path breaking and unconventional cinema like – Dev D, A Wednesday, Rang De Basanti and Barfii – in their first innings together at UTV, Ronnie and Siddharth seem to have picked up where they left off from.
Their first collaboration – PIHU in their new avatars at RSVP and Roy Kapur Films, is a testament to their belief in content driven films. PIHU, directed by journalist turned filmmaker Vinod Kapri is a first for Indian cinema in every aspect.
Where the story is concerned, circumstances lead to a 2 year old girl ‘Pihu’ being left alone in an apartment. It is a social thriller, based on a true story which is sure to blow your mind. The fact that it’s the only film in the history of our cinema to have just one character throughout played by a 2 year old child makes this movie absolutely incredible. Much like they’ve done in past with Lunchbox, Shahid, Khosla ka Ghosla ,Udaan and so many others, Ronnie and Siddharth have identified the unique potential in Pihu to break norms of storytelling, push boundaries of narrative and discovered a fresh new directorial voice in Vinod Kapri.
Pihu was officially selected for prestigious international film festivals which include Vancouver, Palmsprings, Iran, Morocco, Germany. The film went on to win “best film” at Morocco. It was also the opening film at India’s largest – International Film Festival of India, Goa (2017) where it received rave reviews.
