Mumbai, March 11 (NationPress) Actress Neena Gupta will be seen sharing the screen with Kabir Bedi in the upcoming streaming movie 'Aachari Baa'. The trailer of the film was unveiled on Tuesday, showcasing the titular character as she navigates the complexities of Mumbai while residing at her son’s home.
The film, directed by Hardik Gajjar, narrates a poignant tale of longing, resilience, and the beauty of unforeseen connections. Neena Gupta plays the role of Jaishnaviben Anopchand Vagadia, a woman of remarkable strength, independence, and warmth, whose simple pleasures in life center around her beloved homemade pickles.
Speaking about the film, Neena Gupta remarked, “Baa is not merely a character; she represents countless mothers and grandmothers who have devoted their entire lives to their families, only to find themselves alone in the end. She is strong, yet fragile. She is fierce, yet profoundly vulnerable. She asks for so little—just a sprinkle of love, a dash of time, and a touch of presence.”
She further added, “When I first read the script, it made me laugh and cry simultaneously, and I immediately knew I wanted to be part of it. This film serves as a reminder that love should never be an afterthought. If you still have your parents or grandparents around, don’t wait for a ‘tomorrow’ to express your care. I am thankful that JioHotstar is sharing this story with audiences everywhere, as it conveys a message that is crucial to hear.”
The film chronicles Baa’s journey, who, after waiting almost a decade to reconnect with her son, is invited to Mumbai, only to discover she has been summoned not for family time but to dog-sit while they vacation abroad. Amidst the city’s bustling chaos and an unfamiliar household, Baa finds herself cohabiting with a mischievous dog named Jenny, whom she never desired.
Kabir Bedi stated, “‘Aachari Baa’ is not merely a film; it serves as a wake-up call. It compels us to reflect: When was the last time we truly listened to our parents? When was the last moment we made them feel acknowledged? I hope, for many viewers on JioHotstar, this becomes a reminder to treasure the loved ones who once prioritized us.”
Presented by Jio Studios, Hardik Gajjar Films, and Backbencher Pictures, ‘Aachari Baa’ is produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Poonam Shroff, and Parth Gajjar. The film is set to stream soon on JioHotstar.
