Celebrity chef Vikas Khanna’s ‘The Last Color’ starring Neena Gupta will release in theatres in India on December 11. Adapted from Khanna’s book of the same name. The film revolves around a flower seller and tightrope walker who befriends a widow and promises to add color to her life. The film deals with the age-old taboo around widows in Varanasi and Vrindavan, India Today reported.
“The journey of ‘The Last Color’ has indeed been a long and eventful one. The love and appreciation and acclaim showered onto us over the past one year are extremely humbling. Having traveled the whole world and taken the film onto the global stage, it indeed feels overwhelming to bring the film to its roots – India and have a theatrical release for audiences back home. This cinematic narrative is very close to my heart and after years of passionate effort and perseverance, I am humbled to share it with you,” Vikas Khanna was quoted as saying.
Neena Gupta said, “The Last Color has a silver lining of light and hope. It’s been an incredible journey right from the very beginning. The film has truly left an indelible mark on me and it feels wonderful to have the film finally releasing in India. While it has been humbling to witness the love and appreciation from our international audience, we hope to receive the same appreciation from our Indian viewers
