Divya Dutta and Jimmy Shergill Set to Lead Prem Prakash Modi’s Gripping Family Drama ‘Tum Rahe Na Tum’

Divya Dutta and #JimmyShergill will come together for a psychological relationship drama titled ‘Tum Rahe na Tum’, directed by Prem Prakash Modi.

Produced by Vinni Chawla and Sonu Katyal under their banner Fanatically Filmi Pvt. Ltd., the film is an adaptation of Swedish playwright August Strindberg’s landmark play The Father. The film transposes the emotional and psychological core of Strindberg’s work into an intimate Indian family setting, exploring love, control, insecurity, parental expectations, toxic masculinity and ego, and how these forces can gradually reshape relationships.

“Tum Rahe Na Tum is an intimate exploration of relationships and the emotional spaces people inhabit within a family. I wanted to look at what happens when love, expectations, insecurity, ego and ideas of masculinity begin to affect the way people see each other. The film is rooted in a very Indian family setting, but the emotions are universal.” Said director Prem Prakash Modi.

Speaking about the casting, Modi said, “Jimmy Shergill has a rare ability to make a complex character feel deeply real which made him perfect for the role. Divya Dutta, on the other hand, brings an incredible ability to portray strength, vulnerability and complexity at the same time. I felt that the combination of Jimmy and Divya would bring exactly the kind of layered, lived-in relationship that the film demands. Both Jimmy and Divya are stepping into characters and emotional spaces that audiences haven’t seen them explore before.”

“What attracted me to the film was that nobody in this family is completely innocent or completely guilty. It is a very human, uncomfortable and layered story, and that complexity is what made the film particularly compelling for me,” said Divya Dutta.

“Tum Rahe Na Tum immediately drew me in because of how deeply human and emotionally complex it is. It is the kind of story that makes you question what you see, what you believe and how people can experience the same relationship very differently,” said Jimmy Shergill.

The cast also includes Harsh Chhaya, along with Zarina Wahab and Rajesh Jais in important roles.
