National Award-winning filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar has officially wrapped the shoot of his upcoming film The Wives, marking another addition to his filmography known for its socially rooted and realistic storytelling.

Madhur Bhandarkar wraps shooting of The Wives; film promises a hard-hitting look at Bollywood’s inner circlesThe Wives features a strong ensemble cast comprising Sonali Kulkarni, Mouni Roy, Regina Cassandra, Rahul Bhatt, Saurabh Sachdeva, Arjan Bajwa and Freddy Daruvala. The film is set to explore the emotional and psychological worlds that exist behind the public image of Bollywood stars, focusing on the lives of those who remain away from the spotlight yet are deeply affected by it.

With this project, Bhandarkar revisits familiar thematic territory—examining ambition, relationships, power dynamics and emotional vulnerabilities—while shifting the narrative focus to the personal lives of star spouses. Known for his unfiltered portrayal of social ecosystems, the filmmaker aims to present a story that reflects the pressures of image, success and survival in an industry driven by perception.

Talking about the film, Madhur Bhandarkar shared, “The Wives is a story that looks beyond the spotlight and into the personal lives that are often overshadowed by fame. It explores relationships, ambition, insecurity and emotional survival in a world driven by image and success. I wanted to tell this story with honesty and sensitivity, and I’m grateful to my cast and crew for bringing so much authenticity to the screen.”

Producer Pranav Jain of PJ Motion Pictures also spoke about the collaboration, saying, “Collaborating with Madhur sir is always a creatively fulfilling experience. He has a rare ability to tell complex, human stories in a very relatable way. The Wives is bold, thought-provoking and emotionally driven, and I believe it will strike a chord with audiences who enjoy meaningful cinema.”

Produced by Bhandarkar Entertainment and PJ Motion Pictures, The Wives marks Madhur Bhandarkar’s second collaboration with Pranav Jain after India Lockdown, which received appreciation for its timely subject and realistic narrative. With the shoot now completed, the film is expected to move into post-production, building anticipation among audiences who follow Bhandarkar’s brand of content-driven cinema.
