Ajay Devgn's upcoming production, 'Parched', starring Radhika Apte in the lead role, will hit theatres on September 23. The movie, directed by Leena Yadav, is set in the heart of parched rural landscape of Gujarat, India. It traces the story of four ordinary women Rani, Lajjo, Bijli and Janaki. Parched is a multi-layered story, sensitively told. In a remote desert village, there are three women — a young widow Rani (played by Tannishtha Chatterjee); her vivacious best friend, Lajjo (Radhika Apte), who is trying unsuccessfully to have a baby with her abusive husband; and the erotic dancer Bijli (Surveen Chawla).
