Film's theme
What is 'Saali Mohabbat' about?
Produced by Jio Studios and Manish Malhotra's Stage5 Production, Saali Mohabbat is a thriller-drama that revolves around Smita (played by Apte), a small-town housewife whose life spirals into infidelity, deceit, and moral ambiguity. The film will be released exclusively on ZEE5 later this year.
Director's insight
Chopra and Malhotra on the film
Chopra said, "With Saali Mohabbat, I wanted to tell a story that feels both intimate and unsettling, one that captures a woman's gaze in a world full of hidden fractures and polite facades." "This film explores those fragile boundaries of trust, betrayal, and identity but through a deeply female perspective." Malhotra added that his production company was founded to support such original stories told with honesty.
