The story is set in a boarding school in a small town in the Himalayan foothills and follows a 16 year old Mira, whose rebellious coming of age is hijacked by her mother who never got to come of age.

I feel confident about the script since I received validation due to the numerous grants our project has received. I hope I can live up to expectations. I am working with a fantastic set of actors and a great crew, so I feel grateful.”

Adding to her thoughts, actress and producer Richa Chadha, said –

“I am grateful for these humble beginnings as I always wanted to get behind good quality indies. Shuchi and I have been friends since college and I am happy to be a part of her journey. I am confident she will make a good feature which has huge international prospects.”

Speaking about their maiden production, Ali Fazal, said –

“We started this creators lab with the intent of backing new talent. ‘Girls Will Be Girls’ is the apt first film step for us in that respect.”
