Anil Kapoor who was a star attraction in Savi never came forward to promote it during the release. Says the film’s leading lady Divya Khossla, “We still don’t know why Anil Sir didn’t promote Savi. It was his film as much as ours. We were not told why he stayed away. But I have the highest regard for him. I learned so much watching him. I hope to work with him again.”

Divya and director Abhinay Deo get calls and messages from Savi fans across the world, who want to know what happens to the characters after the film is over.
“There are seeds of a sequel and we are exploring that,” says Divya. “Right now we are still in a state of shock. We never expected our film would go this far.”
Interestingly Savi is a gender-flipped version of the Russell Crowe starrer ‘The Next Three Days’. Divya Khossla plays Russell Crowe.
“We wanted to turn the original story into an Indian feminist statement on the power of the homemaker. Savi is based on the Hindu mythological concept of Sati Savitri, who is said to have brought her husband back from the dead. We have contemporized the myth and made it acceptable to today’s audience without tampering with the story. Men, and even women, tend to take the homemaker for granted, if not look down on her completely. Our film shows how the housewife anchors the family. Were it not for her, the family would fall apart.”
