‘Airlift’ Director Raja Krishna Menon Backs Coming-of-Age Drama ‘Harbir’ at Film Bazaar


Raja Krishna Menon's Bandra West Pictures is producing 'Harbir,' the debut feature from Angad Bawa, which is being presented at Film Bazaar in Goa.

As the boy grapples with this decision, he faces opposition from his family and the larger Sikh community, who view his potential choice as a betrayal of faith and identity. “Through Harbir, I want to offer an alternative narrative that doesn’t push an ideology, but instead explores the internal struggle of a character navigating societal expectations and their right to make a free, personal choice,” Bawa told Variety. Menon, known for directing “Airlift,” starring Akshay Kumar, and “Chef,” a Saif Ali Khan-starring Bollywood adaptation of the Jon Favreau Hollywood film of the same name, said he was drawn to the universal themes in Bawa’s story.
