Khatija Rahman, daughter of Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman, is making her international debut as a music director with the UK-India co-production film 'Lioness'.
Lioness, the inaugural official Indo-UK co-production under the 2008 bilateral treaty, also features Aditi Rao Hydari and Paige Sandhu.
The film is slated to commence filming on April 3, 2024 in the United Kingdom and is partnered by both the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) government of India and the British Film Institute (BFI) government of the UK.
The movie has been penned and directed by Kajri Babbar, daughter of filmstar Raj Babbar, as her debut feature film. It is being produced by Mohaan Nadaar, Dr Vikas Garg and Vaishalli Paatil.
About the movie Lioness
Lioness narrates the tales of two British-Punjabi women from different eras. The first narrative, set in the early 1900s, intricately weaves the historical journey of Princess Sophia Duleep Singh, the youngest granddaughter of Maharajah Ranjit Singh and the god-daughter of Queen Victoria, with that of Simranjeet Kaur, a fictional character symbolising the experiences of an educated, married immigrant woman in 1990s Southall.
"Lioness breaks stereotypes in women’s empowerment, sheddinglight on the historical impact of Indian women. Dispelling the notion of feminism as a Western concept, our film sparks conversations on the struggles that shaped today’s rights," said Director Kajri Babbar.
