Actor and producer Prabhleen Kaur who has worked along with Rajkummar Rao in Hansal Mehta’s National Award-winning film Shahid and has done popular shows like Aap Ki Antara on Zee TV and Mohe Rang De on Colors channel is a new name in the bandwagon of women film producers. She has acquired the rights of author Shuma Raha’s ‘The Swap’ to be adapted into a mega digital show which will go on the floors in early 2020 under her production banner Almighty Motion Picture.
When asked what interested her in The Swap, Prabhleen Kaur says, “When I got to know about the book from Anish Chandy the first thing attracted me was Shuma Raha as I had read few of her articles and found them very interesting and intelligent and the title of the book. After reading the book I was sure that this is a going to be a big erotic thriller. We are almost done with the writing and casting is in final stage.”
Shuma Raha says, “Set in Delhi, The Swap is a story of love, sex, and marriage centered around the practice of couple swapping. It’s great for a screen adaptation because it is plot-driven, has believable characters and situations, and tells a powerful story about urban India and its willingness to push the boundaries of sexual freedom.”
Anish Chandy of Labyrinth Literary Agency says, “The Swap received adaptation interest from a number of producers. We eventually went with Almighty Motion Pictures because of the pedigree of Prabhleen Sandhu and the fact that it’s been promoted by Sunil Bohra who has an exceptional track record with a difficult subject.”
