MUMBAI: When Kiran Met Karen (WKMK), an English language Bollywood film dealing with the subject of lesbianism, has concluded filming and has entered the post production phase.
Produced and directed by Manan Singh Katohora, the film explores lesbianism as it is encapsulated by the canvas of South Asian conservatism, lifestyle and existence. It is the story of a rising Bollywood star Kiran Lohar, who discovers something about herself only after encountering lesbian journalist Karen Sorens.
“It is absolutely amazing how this movie has come together after two years of hard work and perseverance. I’m thrilled that we were able to put together such a talented cast and crew, and create a quality film. I’m just disappointed that there are not enough movies out there that showcase the honest exploration of a female’s sexuality,” said Katohora.
WKMK stars Samrat Chakrabarti, Chriselle Almeida and Kelly Dawn Holsopple. Katohora’s next film is another cross-cultural comedy titled Bollywood Blues.
