New Delhi: Parineeti Chopra will probably play her most intense character so far in Ribhu Dasgupta’s The Girl On The Train that awaits a February 26 release on Netflix.
In The Girl On The Train she plays Meera, a girl who had a perfect family once upon a time and now a lonely person who is fixated on the life of another seemingly ideal couple who remind her of “everything she has lost.”
“I don’t know whether this is jealousy or my desire,” she wonders. She is a lawyer by profession with a dark past and a broken marriage. She also suffers from short term amnesia. From the train she takes daily, she observes the perfect life of a couple in their home and laments about her own life.
One day, she witnesses something unexpected that breaks her trust and she takes it upon herself to unravel the truth that shocks her. She gets unknowingly involved in a ruthless crime that she decides to solve.
An official adaptation of Paula Hawkins’ bestselling book by the same name, The Girl On The Train is written and directed by Ribhu Dasgupta.
Parineeti Chopra, playing the protagonist Meera Kapoor, said, “The Girl On The Train was an entirely different experience for me as I have never played this kind of a role before. Getting into the character of Meera Kapoor and working closely with Ribhu to bring her to life was an immense learning experience for me. As an actor, I have always wanted to challenge myself with more, and this role gave me the opportunity to do so. The Girl On The Train will take the audiences on a dark journey trying to piece together the reality of who actually committed the crime and have them guessing the truth!”
Director and Writer of The Girl On The Train, Ribhu Dasgupta said, “The book enticed me tremendously, and I am excited to have the opportunity to bring this version of the story to screens around the world. This film has been a real ride of emotion and passion for me. I am happy that the trailer will drop on Netflix and everyone will see a glimpse of the world we have created.”
