Picture This, a romantic comedy film starring Simone Ashley (Sex Education) and Hero Fiennes Tiffin (Fackham Hall), is coming to Amazon's Prime Video platform.
The blurb explains: "Single and without a man on the horizon, Pia (Simone Ashley) runs a failing photography studio in London with her best friend Jay (Luke Fetherston). As her sister Sonal (Anoushka Chadha) prepares to get married and her mother Laxmi (Sindhu Vee) urges the resolutely independent Pia to partner up, a spiritual guru at Sonal's engagement party predicts Pia will meet the love of her life among the next five dates she goes on. As her family intervene, setting her up on a series of increasingly desperate blind dates, Pia begins a hilarious but heartfelt quest for real love."
The movie will also feature Phil Dunster (Ted Lasso), Nikesh Patel (Starstruck), Adil Ray (Citizen Khan), Kulvinder Ghir (Goodness Gracious Me) and Asim Chaudhry (People Just Do Nothing).
Amazon executive Tara Erer says: "We're really excited to bring this brilliant new and original London set romantic-comedy to Prime Video customers. Picture This has a fantastic cast, with the wonderful Simone Ashley and Hero Fiennes Tiffin as our leads, as well as a brilliant filmmaking team, we know our audience are going to absolutely love, and laugh a lot, with this film."
Picture This is based on the Australian movie Five Blind Dates, which was written by Shaung Hu and Nathan Ramos-Park. The UK version is produced by 42, the production company that previously made the film Military Wives and sitcom The Flatshare. The project is directed by Prarthana Mohan and written by Nikita Lalwani.
