Indian LGBTQ Horror Film ‘Ummeed’ Boards Venice Alum Karan Tejpal, Heads to EFM (EXCLUSIVE)


'Stolen' director Karan Tejpal joins 'Ummeed,' Indian psychological horror about same-sex couple's pregnancy nightmare, set for EFM.

When Tithi cannot conceive, her partner Rahi becomes pregnant, leading to a descent into paranoia fueled by societal harassment and dark secrets about the pregnancy itself. “‘Ummeed’ is the story of how a same-sex couple’s dream of having a child turns into a nightmare as the society around them starts pushing them towards a dark alley,” Banerjee explains. Gubbara has recently completed principal photography on a short film titled “Ma,” starring Anusuya Sengupta – who made history as the first Indian actor to win best performance at Cannes’ Un Certain Regard for “The Shameless” – Akash Khurana, and Upen Chauhan, directed by Riddhi Talreja, in collaboration with Canon, Sandisk, and Sennheiser.
