Teen tale with a twist

All's hush hush about Satish Kaushik's forthcoming venture "Tere Sang". That's because the story is based on the sensitive subject of teen pregnancy. Since a sizeable bulk of the Indian audience is conservative, the unusual love story is being kept under wraps to avoid unnecessary controversy.

The story is about a 17-year old boy (played by Ruslaan) who gets his 15-year old girlfriend (played by Sheena) pregnant. With promiscuity on the rise among teenagers, Kaushik hopes to bring into focus an issue ignored by our society at large.

With the film's release scheduled for September next year, its cast and crew is bracing itself to answer some bold questions from the media and critics. A very thoughtful effort indeed, provided the film-maker is serious enough about the issue and wishes to give out a meaningful message to the audiences. -(SAMPURN)
