Sheila Sandhu turns director with Acceptance

Mumbai Aug 1 (IANS) Sheila Sandhu who earlier produced Seema Biswas-starrer short film "Holding Back" has made her debut as a director with her second short film "Acceptance".

" Acceptance is my dream project. I had to face a lot of struggle in making this short film. Being based in Malaysia looking after project being produced in India is difficult " Sandhu owner of Osh Productions said in a statement. "My film which was earlier supposed to be directed by Ashok R. Kondke was then directed by me. I explored and got a cap of direction too. Now I am producer writer and director of my film " she added. Talking about the film Sandhu said: "The story is based upon parenthood. The movie will touch people s soul. Our society has become a �dog eat dog world. Humanity hardly exists. I hope with this film people who are well settled and are rich will reach out to the less fortunate." "Above all it will explain that to be a parent you always don t need to give birth to a child. Parenthood is very special to enjoy and you need a heart for that." Sandhu will hold a screening for the short film on August 11. --IANS sas/dc/vt
