Chowdhury, best known for directing Amitabh Bachchan and Taapsee Pannu-starrer “Pink", called “Lost" an “emotional thriller". “The film explores themes like commitment, responsibility, holding hands and making our world beautiful and compassionate. For me, it’s important that any film I make should have a social context and that the stories are taken from the world around us. “‘Lost’ is an emotional thriller that represents a higher quest, a search for lost values of empathy and integrity," he added.

The film will be largely shot at real locations across Kolkata and Purulia. Music director Shantanu Moitra will provide the score for the film with lyrics by Swanand Kirkire. Shareen Mantri Kedia of Namah Pictures said “Lost" ticks all the boxes of narrating an “engaging, riveting" story.

“We are pleased to partner with Zee Studios in bringing this wonderful story to audiences the world over. With Aniruddha helming the direction, Yami headlining an interesting ensemble of actors and sharp writing by screenplay and dialogue writers Shyamal Sengupta and Ritesh Shah, this surely will be a thrilling journey," he added. Produced by Zee Studios, Shareen Mantri Kedia, Kishor Arora, Sam Fernandes and Indrani Mukherjee, the film is expected to go on floors later this month.
