Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 4 (ANI): Ace director Sounmendra Padhi, known for his cult series ‘Jamtara’ is all set to come with his new film ‘Farrey.’

‘Farrey’ is a word used by students for small chits of paper bearing answers, that they sneak into exam halls.

“When I was offered ‘Farrey’ and read the script, I knew that the film’s heart was in the right place. It’s a very good and gripping story. The reason I wanted to make ‘Farrey’ was honestly very personal and dates back to many years ago when something similar happened to me,” Padhi said.

For Padhi, deciding to make this movie was not just a professional decision but also a very personal one that was based on a momentous event that happSounmendra Padhiened many years ago in his own life.

‘Farrey’ delves into the complexities of human experiences, emotions, and the choices people make when faced with challenging situations.

Earlier, Superstar Salman Khan on Tuesday unveiled the trailer of ‘Farrey,’ the debut film of his niece Alizeh Agnihotri.
