Actress Revathy looked into the pages of a neglected housewife with sensitivity in her directorial debut, Mitr: My Friend. The Hindi-English bilingual starred Shobhana (who won a National Award for this film), Naseer Abdullah, and Preeti Vissa.
Now, Revathy is back with another film based on another sensitive subject. Phir Milenge, starring Salman Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, and Shilpa Shetty revolves around the killer disease, AIDS.
Salman, who will work with a female director for the first time in his career, reunites with his Love (1991) co-star Revathy in Phir Milenge.
In Phir Milenge, Shilpa sports a natural, no-makeup look. She plays Tamanna, an advertising professional in love with Rohit (Salman), a singer. Their lives are torn apart when tragedy strikes.
That is when Tarun (Abhishek), a lawyer, comes to their rescue. Apparently, the movie has hints of the dark film Philadelphia, starring Tom Hanks who played an AIDS patient and Denzel Washington, his lawyer.
