NRI filmmaker Sanjay Arora
NEW YORK: Butterfly Wings, a film by NRI filmmaker Sanjay Arora was recently selected and screened in 14 cities in India under We Care Film Festival sponsored by UN and UNESCO; Manila Woman Forum, Philippines; and Picture this Film Festival 2011 in Alberta, Canada.
Butterfly Wings is a 50-minute English film, based on a true story. Neha Bhatia, free-spirited and fun-loving woman who takes life for granted ends up a victim of an accident, leaving her with a severe brain injury resulting in quadri-paralysis and coma.
Thus begins the journey of Neha’s recovery, unexpected but not impossible – a journey that explores unconditional love and support from Ayesha, Neha’s older sister. Ayesha’s immense belief in her sister and undying faith in their sisterly bond becomes the spine of the film.
Produced and directed by Arora himself and written by Princess Reineeta Lakshman, the film was shot in Delhi with American and Indian actors: Mark Lovejoy, Vaishali Ray, Manish Jain, Abhimanu and Manish Srivastava.
Sanjay is currently in pre-production on his next film to be shot in India and US and currently meeting people in Bollywood for creative collaboration. India-born and US-based, Arora is a New York Film Academy graduate.
