She said in a statement, “ What gives Lust Stories its enduring appeal is its ability to reinvent itself. Each chapter begins with a shared human impulse and arrives at a completely different emotional truth. Here, desire opens a window into power, vulnerability, agency, compromise, and the things people struggle to say aloud." “Four of India’s leading directors, Vikramaditya Motwane, Kiran Rao, Shakun Batra, and Vishal Bhardwaj, bring four distinct perspectives, united by a singular vision: inviting audiences to interpret these relationships through the lens of their own experiences,” she added.Each story offers a unique perspective on intimacy and relationships, reflecting the signature storytelling style of its filmmaker while collectively celebrating the complexity, contradictions and emotional truths that define human connection. With four distinct voices and four unforgettable worlds, Lust Stories 3 continues the anthology's legacy of telling stories that resonate long after the credits roll.The original Lust Stories, released in 2018, featured four directors—Anurag Kashyap, Zoya Akhtar, Dibakar Banerjee and Karan Johar. The anthology returned for a second instalment in 2023, with R. Balki, Konkona Sen Sharma, Amit Ravindernath Sharma and Sujoy Ghosh taking over as the four directors.- EndsPublished By: Prachi aryaPublished On: Sep 5, 2026 13:00 IST
