Mumbai, Oct 14 (IANS): Actress Pallavi Joshi says her upcoming release, "Painful Pride", is an important and sensitive film.

" 'Painful Pride' is a very important and sensitive film that deals with human emotions. It's important for both men and women to watch it. It's been made entirely by a young team with the dynamic and sweet Saumitra Singh at the helm. I feel very special and privileged that I'm a part of this project," said Pallavi.

Directed by Saumitra Singh, who earlier made the acclaimed short film, "The Wallet", the films features Pallavi along with TV actor Rituraj K. Singh in lead roles.
