Om Puri's 'last' film Lashtam Pashtam to release next month

Om Puri

Late actor Om Puri's film Lashtam Pashtam is gearing for an August 10 release. Debutant director Manav Bhalla's venture is being touted as a celebration of friendship that transcends borders.

Bhalla says, "While our film references India and Pakistan, its [story can resonate with] any friendship that transcends the limitations of political borders. We were blessed to have a fantastic ensemble cast, led by the legendary Om Puri ji, who believed in the film's theme of friendship beyond borders. The film highlights the values that Om ji held dear - as a human being and actor - which were in favour of universal peace and harmony. I will cherish having worked with him on [probably] his last film and my first film."

The film also features Tisca Chopra, Dolly Ahluwalia, Ishita Dutta, Feryna Wazheir, Vibhav Roy and Samar Vermani.
