Actor Saiyami Kher is set to reunite with her 8 A.M. Metro (2023) co-star Gulshan Devaiah for an upcoming project releasing soon. The much-loved pairing has sparked interest again after pictures from the shoot surfaced online.

According to sources, the short film was shot entirely in the Mumbai suburbs as the project used real locations to heighten its intimate, lived-in mood.

Directed by a new filmmaker, the love drama is not a sequel but occupies a similar emotional space, centred on unsaid feelings and human connection. It has been shot completely in black and white.

A source told mid-day, “Saiyami and Gulshan share a very organic comfort level, both on and off screen. The shoot started on January 1 and wrapped up on January 5. It was a focussed unit with a crew of 100 people.”

This marks their third collaboration. “Saiyami and Gulshan spent time working through the characters’ internal histories. Because the film relies on minimal dialogue, a lot of the prep was about understanding emotional continuity. They prepped for two weeks before the shoot,” the source concluded.
