Neena Gupta Starring The Last Color, Selected For Indie Meme Film Festival

After the world premiere at prestigious 30th Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival, Celebrity Chef Vikas Khanna's directorial debut feature film The Last Color, starring Neena Gupta, has been officially selected for 4th Indie Meme Film Festival.

Chef turned filmmaker Vikas Khanna confirmed the news on his social media. He wrote, “AUSTIN SEE YOU SOON! Proud to be the FIRST OFFICIAL SELECTION for the 4th Indie Meme Film Festival 2019- THE LAST COLOR, a directorial debut by celebrity Chef Vikas Khanna! @LASTCOLORFILM @indiememe @Jitendra_siffcy @saffronpen @Neenagupta001”

The movie, which marks Vikas' debut as a director and screenwriter, is based on his bestselling book by the same name. The Last Color is the story of Chhoti (Aqsa Siddiqui) - a nine-year-old flower seller and tightrope walker who befriends Noor (Neena Gupta), a 70-year-old widow living a life of complete abstinence.

Chhoti promises to bring a ray of hope in the life of Noor. Besides Neena and Aqsa, the film also stars transgender activist Rudrani Chettri. The teaser of the film was unveiled at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year and marked Vikas' fourth appearance at the fest.

The film has been shot by Subhranshu Das and produced by Bindu Khanna, Poonam Kaul and Jitendra Mishra under the banner of House Of Omkar.

The Last Color is inspired by the real-life experiences observed by Vikas while researching food and culture for his books and TV shows.
