An uplifting UAE-made film that celebrates courage, loss, and the fearless spirit of a woman who refused to give up on her dreams.
An upcoming UAE-based film brings to life the remarkable story of Catherine, a model and designer whose world turned upside down after a tragic accident left her without a leg. Shot entirely in the UAE and featuring popular local influencers, the movie captures her journey of resilience, courage, and rediscovery with a raw, emotional honesty that goes beyond glamour.
Once a promising name in fashion, Catherine was forced to step away from the runway after her accident. Finding solace in baking, she devoted herself to caring for her ailing mother. But when her mother’s health began to decline and medical expenses mounted, Catherine faced a defining choice — to step back into the fashion world and walk the runway one more time.
Director Sajir Valiyedath brings his signature depth and sensitivity to the project, focusing on empowerment through quiet strength rather than spectacle. “This story is about courage and inner resilience,” he explains. “We wanted to portray a woman’s determination not through words, but through her actions and grace under pressure.”
Producer Karthik Vijayamani, who draws immense inspiration from superstar Rajinikanth, infused the production with the same disciplined energy he admires in the actor. Guided by that philosophy, he faced numerous challenges head-on — from tight shooting schedules and unforeseen delays to multiple retakes. The film’s powerful climax was even shot four times to capture the perfect emotional note.
Despite the hurdles, Karthik remained committed to delivering a story that feels real, heartfelt, and deeply human. His passion and perseverance echo the very spirit of Catherine’s journey , one of courage, hope, and renewal.
Set to premiere across UAE cinemas on October 26, 2025, the film promises audiences an inspiring cinematic experience ,one that celebrates not only personal triumph but also the strength that comes from love, faith, and resilience.
Catherine’s story stands as a moving reminder that even in life’s darkest moments, the human spirit has the power to rise again , stronger, braver, and ready to reclaim its place under the spotlight.
