A struggling Mumbai actor connects with a melancholic retired banker in Frankfurt through virtual acting lessons, bridging cultural gaps and personal struggles across continents. Acting star Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s new film sees him star opposite Chitrangada Satarupa, in a film written and directed by Aditya Kriplani and produced by Sweta Chhabria, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Ranjan Singh.
