The makers of the recently announced film First Second Chance on Monday raised the curtain on the first poster of the upcoming film. Based on true events, the film stars Renuka Shahane, Ananth Mahadevan, Devoleena Bhattacharjee, Saahil Uppal, and Nikhil Sangha in lead roles.
Talking about the film, director Lakshmi R Iyer said in a statement, "It was an incredible journey of shooting the film, with Renuka, Ananth, Devoleena and more. They are all talented individuals with a love for filmmaking who gave their all in First Second Chance. I am honoured to have them cast in my film. The story amplifies the unbridled energy of love, past and emotions, all packed in a sweet little orb of time. The script is beautiful in itself, and I am sure the audience will find it just as beautiful and tug at the strings of their hearts."
Renuka Shahane shared, "I agreed to do First Second Chance because I loved the script. I appreciate Lakshmi's energy, enthusiasm, love for the craft and filmmaking. I have always been on the lookout to work with women writers, directors, editors, and cinematographers. It's a different kind of camaraderie that we share on the set. It's a comfortable atmosphere to work with Lakshmi. She is incredibly talented, knows what she wants, and has a clear mind about what kind of emotions she needs. She is never in a rush. In the emotional scenes, she’d give a lot of space to the actor to do it their way and take their time with their emotions, never taking anything in the film casually. I love the way my character is portrayed in the film. Everything was worked out at a micro level."
Ananth Mahadevan said, “A heartfelt tale of two people reclaiming their past in the evening of their lives will evoke varying emotions of abandonment, resilience, and revival. The film set in an old people’s home caresses the inevitable emotional evening of one’s life but underlines the fact that every dusk needn’t lead to darkness. Lakshmi’s diligence and passion has been the driving force behind this take-home journey of two hearts. ‘First Second chance’ is the chance you just gotta take!!!”
First Second Chance is produced by Streetsmart Production.
