Redefining the notion of friendship and giving a new meaning to the beautiful saying, friends made in times of extreme adversity are also truly friends forever` is the upcoming film Vartak Nagar`. This eye-opening drama reveals how those friendships that emerge under any extreme circumstances can definitely stand the test of time. Featuring actors Jimmy Sheirgill and Raghu Ram, the film is about loyalty and relationships amidst the background of the longest running strikes in the history of Mumbai.

"It is a multi-layered story of four teenage friends, which take us through the fun filled nostalgic journey of the coming of age friendship of Gajya, Satya, Raju and Savio - their glorious school days, their eccentric teachers and their innocent pranks. It is one of those rare films, which has the potential to be a huge commercial hit, garner critical acclaim and also perform well internationally. I had absolutely no hesitation in backing the film," said Amit Agarwal, the producer of the film. Also, friendship was one of the key reasons he decided to associate with the film.

"Vartak Nagar is a bold attempt at recreating the Bombay of the 80s while attempting to capture a beautiful almost poetic drama of a coming of age friendship film against the backdrop of tracing the history of how the industrial town of Mumbai became the commercial hub called Bombay," said director Atul Taishete while commenting on the story.

Vartak Nagar` also gives a glimpse of the textiles mills in the heart of the city that are converted into plush-sophisticated malls two decades late. Chronicling the struggles and the hardships of the time, the story captures the true meaning of friendship.

Directed by debutant Atul Taishete and starring Jimmy Sheirgill and Raghu Ram, Vartak Nagar` has been jointly produced by Adarsh Telemedia, Dione Entertainment and Kunal Kohli Productions.
