We hope to touch audiences across the Indian diaspora and beyond, with our story telling.”

Presenter Imtiaz Ali shared, “Heer Ranjha has its own world and rhythm — it speaks the love language of this generation while staying rooted in something eternal. Collaborating with Ektaa again feels like a natural continuation of a shared emotional language.”
