Directed by noted advertising film-maker Suresh Triveni, ‘Tumhari Sulu’ stars Vidya Balan in the lead, who essays the role of a beautiful, enthusiastic and a happy-go-lucky housewife whose life gets completely transformed after unexpectedly landing an exciting job as a night RJ (radio jockey) with a leading radio station.

Explaining the synergy behind the association, Belson Coutinho, Vice President – Marketing, Ecommerce and Innovations, Jet Airways said, “Tumhari Sulu adopts a fresh and highly-engaging perspective about listening to one’s inner calling and then stepping out in the world to realise those aspirations. The movie’s inspirational messaging is in sync with the values we hold and promote at Jet Airways including, using every opportunity to go beyondone’s abilities and having a passion for excellence in one’s job. Vidya effortlessly portrays the everyday trials of the archetypical Indian woman, who not only balances her family’s life on one hand but also nurtures her private dreams on the other. We are confident that the inspirational narrative will strongly resonate with movie goers including contemporary women, a significant number of whom travel us.”
