Veteran actress Revathi will be seen essaying the role of a hospital bereavement counselor in the upcoming medical drama film "Aye Zindagi". The film is written and directed by Dr Anirban Bose, who is also known for his novels 'Bombay Rains, Bombay Girls', 'Mice in Men' and 'The Death of Mithali Datto'.

Talking about this remarkable journey from becoming a doctor to becoming a writer-director, Anirban said in a statement: "'Aye Zindagi' is a big departure from what I normally do. I'm a physician so I take care of patients and I teach medical students. I'm incredibly excited and nervous, and I hope people see the beauty of the story that motivated me to devote two years of my life into this project so far out of my comfort zone." Produced by Shiladitya Bora of Platoon One Films, 'Aye Zindagi' will be released in theatres across India and North America on October 14.
