By: Priyal Joshi

Suryast is a revenge thriller drama starring Lara Dutta and Patralekhaa. The movie, which was helmed by Avishek Ghosh, finished filming in the UK on time, according to a statement from the producers.

The official plotline of Suryast read: “Set in a regal mansion with sprawling lawns in the UK, Suryast presents a tale of two women who cross paths in an elaborate cat-and-mouse game, setting it as the perfect revenge drama.” Following their collaboration on the romantic drama film “Ishq-E-Nadaan” earlier this year, Dutta and Ghosh are all set to reunite for the film.

“It has been an incredible experience on one of the most organised sets. I have never had such an intense shoot physically and emotionally and I will not forget playing Avantika in a long time to come. I am glad that I was given this opportunity to explore playing a character like this. It’s been one of the most fulfilling experience,” Dutta said. Known for Hansal Mehta’s “CityLights” and the online series “Bose: Dead/Alive,” Patralekhaa expressed her pleasure at participating in “Suryast.” She further said, “ “My character has some awesome shades, which I loved playing. I am sure cinema lovers would be in for a treat when the film releases,” she added. The film has been written by Sudeep Nigam, and cinematography has been done by Tiyash Sen.”
