After the recently released box office, ‘Khamosh – Khuaff Ki Raat’ (the movie that was well-made but unfortunately could not gel well with the audience), director Deepak Tijori does not lose heart and emerges with his forthcoming outing, ‘Fareeb’, which is complete and soon will hit the screens.

This Dayal Creation’s maiden venture is an emotional thriller and has been produced by Rajesh Singh and Sanjeev Jaiswal. Starring Manoj Bajpai, Shilpa Shetty and Shamita Shetty in pivotal roles, the flick revolves around these three central characters.

Aditya (Manoj Bajpai) works as a Creative Director in an advertising agency and his wife Neha (Shilpa Shetty) is a Medical Practitioner. He lives life happily with his wife and son whom he love dearly. Ria (Shamita Shetty) is a corporate woman and a client of Aditya’s ad-agency. During regular meetings and working together, Ria starts loving Aditya who is not willing to approve of this relationship but somehow Shamita’s charm lures him in her magic. This leads to create a rift with Aditya and his family.

A twist in this tale emerges. Ria’s husband is killed. Since Manoj is the prime suspect, the needle of suspicion is placed on him and he is arrested. Now, he is being watched and blackmailed for the affair he is having with Ria.

Who has killed Ria’s husband?
Who is watching and blackmailing Aditya?
What will happen to Aditya’s married life?

For the answers, get glued to the waiting seats till the movie is out in theaters.

The other cast includes Parmeet Sethi, Milind Gunaji and Kelly Dorje. Suresh Maurya is the executive producer. Bijesh J and Girish Dhamija have co-penned the story and screenplay whereas Girish Dhamija has also used his head to write the dialogues for the film. Manoj Soni dolls up the cinematography and Mohd. Hanif handles the action sequences. Anu Malik scores the music together with Sayed Quadri who gives colors to poetry and writes downs the lyrics.

The movie is slated for this summer’s release.
