Marking the debut of filmmaker Sandeep Singh as a director and starring Abhay Verma and Meera Chopra, Safed throws light into the dark world of a widow and an enunch who, isolated and abandoned by society, find solace in each other. Shot against the rustic background of Banaras, the film is interspersed with melodious and melancholic songs, capturing the mood of the intense love story.
Abhay Verma said, “ When I look at the poster, I can’t believe the transformation I went through. Had I to do the same thing again today, I wonder whether I would be able to do it. This is a once in a lifetime role. It took a lot of courage to walk the unconventional path and the unveiling of the posters now gives me a sense of fulfillment. I feel proud to have done this role. Sandeep sir’s conviction that only I could play this character fueled the fire in me..”
