A
Thursday
-
written
and
directed
by
Behzad
Khambata
has
Yami
playing
the
lead.
She
essays
the
role
of
Naina
Jaiswal,
an
intelligent
playschool
teacher,
who
on
A
Thursday
does
the
unthinkable-
taking
16
toddlers
in
a
school,
hostage.
Events
go
out
of
control
and
the
public
and
media
scrutiny
tear
her
apart,
questioning
her
sanity
and
possible
reason
for
the
heinous
act.
Or
was
there
more
than
meets
the
eye?
On
that
day,
A
Thursday,
nothing
will
ever
be
the
same
again.
Excited
to
be
a
part
of
the
film,
actor
Yami
says,
"A
Thursday
is
one
of
those
rare
scripts
that
come
your
way
that
you
just
cannot
put
down.
Behzad
has
written
one
of
the
strongest
characters
for
any
female
protagonist.
Naina
who
I
will
be
essaying
is
both
fierce
and
endearing.
RSVP
and
I
have
a
great
working
relationship
and
cannot
wait
to
be
back
on
set
with
them".
Ronnie
Screwvala,
who
had
also
produced
the
critically
acclaimed
A
Wednesday
says
"At
RSVP
Im
constantly
looking
to
back
new
talent
and
scripts
that
push
the
envelope.
This
is
one
of
those
brilliantly
written
thrillers
that
not
only
has
you
at
the
edge
of
your
seat
but
also
makes
you
question
many
things
about
society
at
the
end
of
it.
Yami
is
a
phenomenal
actor
and
seeing
her
in
a
grey
avatar
will
be
interesting
for
the
audiences.
Behzad
has
done
an
outstanding
job
on
the
script
and
im
backing
his
vision
to
bring
this
to
life.
This
is
part
of
our
direct
to
digital
movies
for
2021".
Director
Behzad
Khambata
says,
"I
am
really
grateful
to
Prem
for
believing
in
me
and
this
idea
and
I
am
super
excited
to
be
working
with
Ronnie
and
RSVP,
one
of
the
most
reputed
production
houses
in
the
country.
I
always
had
Yami
in
mind
while
writing
this
script
because
I
have
never
seen
her
portray
an
unhinged,
pretty
much
crazy
character.
I
was
thrilled
when
she
agreed
to
do
this
film.
So
now
the
excitement
is
brewing
and
can't
wait
to
be
back
on
a
film
set."
Producer
Premnath
Rajagopalan
of
Blue
Monkey
Films
shares,
"When
Behzad
approached
us
with
the
one
line
on
this
film
we
were
thrilled
by
the
premise.
That
an
act
by
one
individual
creates
a
cascading
effect
with
the
ability
to
disrupt
everything
around
it
was
very
promising.
We
worked
on
the
script
with
Behzad
and
are
extremely
happy
it's
turned
out
to
be
a
taut,
sharp
and
immensely
well
written
story.
We
at
Blue
Monkey
Films
are
excited
to
be
partnering
with
RSVP
on
this
as
Ronnie
has
always
been
associated
with
cult
and
pathbreaking
cinema."
A
Thursday,
produced
by
RSVP
and
Blue
Monkey
Films,
will
release
in
2021
on
digital.
