Poster of Onir’s upcoming film, Pine Cone, out

Director Onir released the first poster of his upcoming film Pine Cone on Tuesday. The film is set to open at the queer film festival, Kashish, on June 7.

The poster offers a glimpse into the intense emotions that engulfs the film. Painted as an art piece, it features the lead actors Vidhur Sethi and Sahib Verma in an intimate and tender moment, symbolizing the depth and complexity of their love and desire.

The film showcases three stories told from the lens of the life of the lead character Sid Mehra, as he navigates relationships in his quest for love. What is unique about the film is that the stories will unfold in reverse chronological order, spanning the years 2019, 2009, and 1999.

Previously speaking of it, Onir said, "Pine Cone is a very special film to me as the process started when the Ministry of Defence did not approve one of my scripts that was inspired by a real story. So, we started working on this story in 2021 so that we continue telling our stories and overcome resistance to our identity. Pine Cone comes from memories of love, loss, deceit and forgiveness.”
