Author Shaukat Vashisht lives a wealthy life-style in India with his wife, Antara, who is a College Teacher. Shaukat achieves fame when he is nominated for the Booker prize, and goes on to win it. His publishers, hoping that they have unleashed a goldmine, are disappointed with his subsequent works, and soon Shaukat is depressed to such an extent that he almost gives up writing. Then he decides to write a story on a woman named Tamanna, and figures that he will base this story on none other than Antara herself. For this purpose he starts to make note of her every movement, and it is then that he finds out that she has an admirer in fellow-teacher, Yash, a dashing young man - with a bright future ahead of him. Shaukat also finds out that Antara has never mentioned Yash to him, nor has she informed Yash that she is married. Watch how his obsession with Tamanna blurs Shaukat's reality with fiction and hallucination - with hopes still high that he will make a come-back and be nominated again for the Booker prize.
Shabd Preview
We have seen countless love-triangle stories on big screen, but Shabd promises to be different.
Starring Sanjay Dutt, Aishwarya Rai and Zayed Khan, the film is the directorial debut of Leena Yadav who has also written its story. The movie is made under the banner of Pritish Nandy Films.
Shabd tells the story of a writer who is coming to terms with the failure of his previous book.
Shaukat (Dutt) is facing a writer's block. He is desperately looking for an inspiring story for his next novel. His loyal wife Antara (Ash) firmly stands beside him as a companion in times of distress. She wants to help him any way she can.
Yash (Zayed) is a flamboyant professor of photography infatuated with Antara, but she rebuffs all his amorous advances.
Inspiration strikes Shaukat and he begins to incorporate the real characters (his wife and Yash) into the characters of his story. Then he asks his wife an unusual favor. He asks her to play the game of love with Yash to know the outcome of this story.
Hesitant at first, Antara agrees to what her husband wants. She begins to play the game of love with Yash. But, as the saying goes, if you play with fire, you will get burnt.
Antara, who was indifferent to Yash at first, now finds herself drawn towards him. As the relationship gets complex, the whole situation spins out of Shaukat's control.
