Academy Award-winning producer Guneet Monga Kapoor, and Achin Jain have come on board to serve as executive producers for Raam Reddy’s The Fable starring Manoj Bajpayee, Tillotama Shome, Deepak Dobriyal and Priyanka Bose.
The film will have its Indian premiere at the 2024 MAMI Film Festival.
In anticipation of the premiere, Guneet, producer and founder, Sikhya Entertainment, said, "We’re excited to bring The Fable to MAMI 2024. It’s so refreshing to watch an Indian film with global appeal that goes against all the grains and constraints many are tied to. It is a distinct Indian story with a universal message, mesmerisingly shot on film.”
Director Raam added, “For Guneet and Achin to believe in this wild and magical dream, and come on board at this special moment in time - just before the Indian premiere at MAMI - fills my heart with immense joy.”
Starring Manoj Bajpayee as Dev, the film follows a family living in a sprawling Orchard Estate in the Indian Himalayas. Their peaceful life is filled with simple pleasures—Dev’s morning flights with his homemade wings, his wife Nandini's (Priyanka Bose) mulberry jam, and their children's effervescence. One day they discover a mysteriously burnt apple tree, followed by more destruction. As tensions rise and suspicions swirl, and a devastating fire breaks out, eventually forcing Dev to see himself and his family for who they truly are.
