Zenofer Fathima’s first feature film premieres
DUBAI — Actor-producer Zenofer Fathima, who rose to the front ranks of the local independent film scene by releasing a series of short movies praised for their sense of realism and social impact, debuted her very first feature film at Novo Cinemas in Ibn Battuta Mall, Dubai.
Set to be showcased late this year on television channel Imagine Movies, Inertia stars Zenofer on the lead role with Bollywood actor Mukul Dev and Casey Shannon, the dou-ble for Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, as co-stars.
Inertia, directed by Sachin Ramdas, chronicles one fateful day in the life of a successful businesswoman. While on a business trip, she is whisked through a series of unexpected events, ending up in a terrifying predicament and exposed to an unravelling mystery after meeting a cryptic stranger. Full of heart-stopping twists, Inertia demonstrates a compel-ling reality that overconfidence can at times lead to some not so pleasant results and take your life off the rails.
“Inertia is an extension of my passion to create visual narratives that emotionally connect. Its effectiveness comes from a reality that mirrors societal complications and creates dia-logues amongst a broad audience. I believe that Inertia has what it takes to create reso-nance with my viewers and this is why I chose it to be my inaugural full-length movie. I cannot be more grateful that Imagine Movies is lending its support by airing the film, hopefully by next month, so that more fans will be able to see it,” Zenofer added.
Imagine Movies is a Dubaibased FTA channel known for showcasing a wide range of Hindi movies with Arabic subtitles, as well as some local contests that are hosted and held by local celebrities.
