There’s something enchanting about small towns: Pankaj

Mimi, directed by Laxman Utekar, narrates the story of a young woman who ends up being a surrogate for a couple. Whatever follows next, changes her life. Pankaj is shooting for the second schedule of the film which will stretch for about 30 days. “There’s something enchanting about small towns. It gives the film a different vibe and character. We will be shooting for a month here (Shekhawati Region of Churu District). I am so elated to be here with this team,” he said. “This is a very special film and the subject touched me deeply when I first heard it. I hope that we are collectively able to live up to the written word and deliver a film that’s worthy of its source material,” he added. Mimi is based on the Marathi film Mala Aai Vhhaychy released in 2011.
