Can we extend the lifeline etched on our palm by fate? Answering this intriguing question, the film Lifeline is set to release in theaters on August 2. Based on the conflict between modern science and traditional customs, the new poster of this film has recently been released. The poster features the veteran Ashok Saraf, recipient of the Maharashtra Bhushan award, and the popular actor Madhav Abhyankar, known for his stellar performances. The stethoscope around Ashok Saraf’s neck and the Tulsi mala around Madhav Abhyankar’s neck hint at the ideological differences between the two characters, the cause of which will be revealed only upon watching the film.
Presented by Crescendo Entertainment, the film also stars Hemangi Kavi, Bharat Dabholkar, Jaywant Wadkar, Sharmila Shinde, Sandhya Kute, and Sameera Gujar in significant roles. Directed by Saahil Shirwaikar, the film’s producers include Lalji Joshi, Kavita Shirwaikar, Ami Bhuta, Milind Prabhudesai, Uday Pandit, Sanchita Shirwaikar, Sandhya Kulkarni, Shilpa Mudbidri, and Crescendo Entertainment. The story, screenplay, dialogues, and lyrics by Rajesh Shirwaikar, with music composed by Ashok Patki, feature soulful songs voiced by Avadhoot Gupte and Madhuri Karmarkar. Lifeline has won 11 international awards.
Young director Saahil Shirwaikar, shares, “Given the very delicate subject, we have presented it with utmost sensitivity. There has always been a gap between science and old traditions. ‘Lifeline’ is a film that changes everyone’s perspective. With a strong storyline and talented cast, I am confident that this film will definitely be appreciated by the audience.”
