Tirlok Malik, the New York-based acclaimed Indian American filmmaker renowned for his poignant portrayal of the Indian diaspora, embarks on a new cinematic odyssey with his upcoming offering, 'I Am Hanuman.' Malik, who is presently in India, is fervently sculpting the pre-production phase of this transcultural Hollywood-Bollywood venture poised to traverse iconic landscapes spanning Ayodhya, New York, and various picturesque locales across India.
A luminary voice in IndianAmerican cinema, Malik's repertoire echoes a resonant narrative from 'Lonely In America' to 'Khushiyaan,' and 'On Golden Years.' This trailblazing director has indelibly etched his name in the industry, not only as a filmmaker but also as an actor and a pivotal US line producer collaborating with stalwarts like AI Pacino, Rajnikanth, Suriya, Kamal Haasan, Sanjay Dutt, Sunny Deol, Anupam Kher, Kangana Ranaut, Manisha Koirala, and Deepti Naval, among others.
Internationally praised for his contributions as both an actor and filmmaker, Malik has garnered acclaim on a global scale. Recognizing his excellence in filmmaking, he was honored with the prestigious Pride of India Gold Medal by the Indian Ambassador of the USA. In August 2007, the New York Mayor's Office bestowed upon Tirlok Malik the New York Citizens Award. Additionally, in 2014, Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer issued a citation in appreciation of his impactful work, officially designating November 1, 2014, as Tirlok Malik Appreciation Day.
"The filmmaking is great in India. It caters to more than a billion viewers worldwide. Films are still a major source of entertainment for the Indian audience," Malik asserts. His fervor for fostering a confluence of cinematic cultures resonates in his belief that Hollywood possesses untapped potential to explore Indian themes and shoot within its rich tapestry.
