Desperate to save her, Arvind exhausts all his resources, only to be met with indifference from his own children.
However, when his children refuse to help him financially or sell their property, Arvind is forced to turn to his friends and acquaintances for support. The decision to sign and give consent for a DNR (Do-Not-Resuscitate) for his wife becomes a gut-wrenching moral dilemma, adding to his emotional turmoil. As the situation worsens, Arvind is faced with a heartbreaking choice.
What happens next? Will Arvind’s all hopes to save his wife get shattered?
During an interview, lead actor Anupam Kher has promised that The Signature film will resonate among all kinds of the audiences, as it will reflect the lives of common people. While talking about his character, Kher shared, “The evolution of the couple’s relationship from partners to friendship is what makes the character Arvind unique. I aim to reflect the essence of common man in my performance.”
