The New Indian Express Chennai
|September 23, 2025
Director Rohan Kanawade talks about his Marathi film Sabar Bonda, while EPs Nikkhil Advani, Vikramaditya Motwane, Nagraj Manjule, and Sai Tamhankar decode the Indie landscape, what they can learn from their commercial counterparts, and how Lokah strikes the perfect balance
DIRECTOR Rohan Kanawade's delicately layered, Sundance Grand Jury Prize winning debut feature, Sabar Bonda (Cactus Pears), was released in Indian theatres last week.
The film's tenderness attracted directors Vikramaditya Motwane and Nikkhil Advaniwho are now becoming regular members of this little coterie of content-driven filmmakers backing indie projects (their last stint was Stolen) to lend their names as Executive Producers. The EP list also includes actor Sai Tamhankar and acclaimed Marathi film maker Nagraj Manjule.
