40th birthday gift for Tahira Kashyap Khurrana, a film from ‘Sikhya Entertainment’!

 

Right after directing her first feature film, which is slated to release this year, #TahiraKashyapKhurrana is onto making her next with #GuneetMonga. The two women are known to create films that leave the audience with a smile, let them ponder over life a little deeper and celebrate the little joys. Both the film-makers enjoy a shared vision of creating content-driven cinema. While Tahira and Guneet have earlier collaborated on a short film ‘Pinni,’ which is a part of “#ZindagiInshorts” on #Netflix, the dynamic duo have announced their second film together. The film shall be produced under Guneet’s banner #SikhyaEntertainment.

Tahira is known to pick the vulnerabilities and complexities of human life and transform them into soul-touching content be it her books or her films. A self-confessed, inherent story-teller, Tahira’s work is celebrated globally for her solemn depiction of women in a hilarious manner. Marking her fabulous 40th birthday, the gifted writer, director announced her next film with Guneet Monga’s Sikhya Entertainment.

Tahira adds, “Guneet is an incredible collaborator, a maverick in making special stories seen and heard. I have immense respect for her in the way she trusts a director’s vision and let’s the story fly. I had the most beautiful experience while working on our short film and I think the both of us sort of made a pact in an unsaid way of collaborating on many things together in future. Our energies were so synced and I am elated that the vision we had is now becoming a reality and we are coming together with a film that we both truly believe in.”

Guneet further added, “Tahira is a really good writer with a deep understanding of human relationships. She is able to convey these intimate connections through her nuanced writing. As a production house, we were drawn to Pinni (Short Film) because of the subtext alongside a truly empowering story. Her view of this world and her understanding cuts across classes. Tahira’s approach and sensitivity is what I truly find fascinating.

We are looking forward to collaborating with Tahira as a writer and director on her next feature, and we hope this is the start of many more features together.”

Tahira and Guneet have also collaborated earlier on Indian Women Rising, a cinema collective to support and empower Indian female talent in the film industry. Tahira has recently completed her debut feature film, “Sharmajee ki beti” as a director.
