The trailer launch was of the first NRI Bollywood film "NRI Wives - Grey Stories of Love Vs Desires" releasing on 12th May, was held recently along with the first song launch titled "O Purvaiya" featuring Bhagyashree and Hiten Tejwani sung in the melodious voice of Chandana Dixit.
The film revolves around the untold human interest taboo stories of the glamorous lives of NRI couples with thought-provoking topics of marital virginity, unmatched couples, etc in a slice-of-life relationship drama. The entire cast addressed the media about their experience while shooting. They also shared some anecdotes about their role in the film.
Actor, writer & producer Gunjan Kuthiala who has brought on board an ensemble cast of ace actors in this Holly and Bolly film says, there are a lot of NRI stories yet to be told and this film is an ideal portrayal of 'the reality behind the glitz & glamour, gloss & shine'. She adds that NRI Wives reflects how good people can show grey shades too in odd life circumstances and dives into the never witnessed before relationship stories of the immigrants' (NRIs) roller coaster ride. Shot in USA, produced by NRILife Productions, the film features celebrated actors like Samir Soni, Jugal Hansraj, Raima Sen, Hiten Tejwani, Bhagyashree, Kiku Sharda, Gaurav Gera, Sadiya Siddiqui, Gunjan Kuthiala, Samiksha Oswal, Javed Pathan, Aditi Govitrikar, Olivia Malhotra and Kapil Arora
The plot of the film which revolves around four real-life inspired NRI stories (Old Secrets, Void Space, Desires & Taboo) diving into the grey shades of human relationships, emotions, desires, and curiosity is slated for theatrical global release on Mother’s Day weekend on May 12. Among many human-interest topics, NRI Wives deals with marital virginity. The film recently had its first Bollywood premiere ever in the history of Boston and New England on 9th April. It was a private screening and poster unveiling.
Gunjan Kuthiala added, "NRI Wives is NRILife Production's first project to kickstart NRI Bollywood- A true amalgamation of Holly N Bolly arts/filmmaking."
Bhagyashree says, "Life is not black and white, it's the grey that weaves relationships together. NRI Wives is an interesting combination of relatable stories, of people around us... of experiences bitter and sweet, of acceptance that it takes all kinds of people to make the world go round. Gunjan had poured her heart into making this a very special film... go watch it with the people you love."
Raima Sen says, "NRI Wives is a very real life-inspired bold subject story but with beautiful messages woven within them. My role is very interesting wherein this girl even after years of her marriage has been hiding some taboo secret of her childhood and how she reacts when that secret knocks on her door when she is in a vulnerable state. I played the lead role in Old Secrets with my co-actors Gaurav Gera and Sadiya Siddiqui and thoroughly loved the cool yet warm vibes of the NRILife productions team, cast crew, the fun while shooting in Seattle and the love of the Seattle community. I recommend all to watch this unique film."
Gaurav Gera says, "My role is that of a busy geeky IT consultant and I enjoyed playing this different character. I had a good time working with Raima Sen, Sadiya, and the fun and authentic production team. I have seen Gunjan’s struggles being a new producer with a mission to create NRI Bollywood, I hope the film gets the love it deserves from the audience."
Hiten Tejwani says, "I genuinely liked the story Void Space, in which I acted as it’s a very novel and never made before taboo and thought-provoking subject. My role is of a celebrity star who travels to the USA for a brand ambassador gig. It was an honour working with Bhagyashree and I had a great time shooting in Texas, US with NRILife Production's warm, passionate & fun team"
Aditi Govitrikar says, "It was indeed a pleasure to portray the role of Sumedha in Grey Stories. Gunjan, Kiku, Vidhi, Sameksha, Javed, and the entire team were a pleasure to work with. Life is not black and white and no one knows what happens behind closed doors in a relationship. What we see is maybe not what it actually is - this is beautifully portrayed in NRI Wives- Grey Stories."
