Adapted by playwright Nick Payne (Constellations) from Julian Barnes’ Booker Prize-winning novel, The Sense of an Ending stars Jim Broadbent as a recluse who is forced to face the devastating legacy of his first love and revise his understanding of his own nature. The film also stars Charlotte Rampling, Michelle Dockery and Emily Mortimer. The film is co-financed by BBC Films and produced by Origin Pictures

Batra said, “It’s been a real pleasure to adapt Julian Barnes’ great novel to the screen; I loved working with the writer Nick Payne and with production. These are exciting times, as the film has sold all over the world; I believe it is a matter of time before we make Indian stories with great Indian actors that will travel more than or as much as English-language cinema does.”
