Ronnie Screwvala & Siddharth Roy Kapur Come Together For ‘Thrillingly Real’ Pihu

After backing unconventional movies like Dev D, A Wednesday, Rang De Basanti and Barfi! during their earlier innings at UTV, Ronnie Screwvala and Siddharth Roy Kapur have now joined hands for Pihu, to be directed by National Award winner Vinod Kapri.

The film marks the first collaboration between Screwvala’s RSVP and Kapur’s Roy Kapur Films.

Releasing on August 3, the film is about what ensues when circumstances lead to a two-year-old girl Pihu being left alone in an apartment. It is based on a true story, and has just one character throughout.

Pihu was officially selected for prestigious international film festivals which include Vancouver, Palmsprings, Iran, Morocco and Germany. It was also the opening film at the International Film Festival of India, Goa, in 2017.

Kapur said in a statement: “It’s always thrilling to come across directors who want to tell stories that disrupt the status quo using bold new narrative styles.”
