Guneet Monga Kapoor joins Raam Reddy's The Fable as executive producer; film to premiere at 2024 MAMI Festival after acclaim at Berlin debut

Academy Award-winning producer and Founder of Sikhya Entertainment, Guneet Monga Kapoor, and Achin Jain have joined as Executive Producers on The Fable, directed by Raam Reddy, whose 2015 film Thithi won two Golden Leopards at the 68th Locarno Film Festival and the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Kannada. The film will have its Indian premiere at the 2024 Mumbai Academy of the Moving Image (MAMI) Film Festival.

The Fable, directed by Raam Reddy, premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2024 and received positive reviews, positioning it as a notable film of the year. Variety described it as offering a new perspective on identity, childhood, and home, referring to it as "stunning" and "cinematic sorcery."

Starring Manoj Bajpayee as Dev, the film follows a family living on a large Orchard Estate in the Indian Himalayas. Their tranquil life includes Dev’s morning flights with homemade wings, his wife Nandini's (Priyanka Bose) mulberry jam, and their children's energy. One day, they discover a mysteriously burnt apple tree, leading to further destruction. As tensions escalate and suspicions arise, a devastating fire eventually compels Dev to confront the reality of himself and his family.

The film also features standout performances by Priyanka Bose, Deepak Dobriyal, and Tilllotama Shome. The Fable is a joint India-US co-production between Prspctvs Productions and Maxmedia, with Guneet and Achin from Sikhya Entertainment now joining as Executive Producers.

In anticipation of the premiere, Guneet Monga Kapoor, producer and founder, Sikhya Entertainment, expressed, “We’re excited to bring The Fable to MAMI 2024. It’s so refreshing to watch an Indian film with global appeal that goes against all the grains and constraints many are tied to. The Fable by the incredibly talented Director, Raam Reddy magically captures the soul of our Himalayan hills. It is a distinct Indian story with a universal message, mesmerisingly shot on film. With an incredible cast in Manoj Bajpaye, Priyanka Bose, Deepak Dobriyal and Tillotama Shome to support this tale, we’re excited to be jumping on board to ensure The Fable is celebrated worldwide. We all grew up with Fables, perhaps it’s time to revisit one.”

Director Raam Reddy said, “For Guneet and Achin to believe in this wild and magical dream, and come on board at this special moment in time - just before the Indian premiere at MAMI fills my heart with immense joy. I greatly admire their path-breaking body of work that have immensely and feel that both myself and the nature of this film resonate deeply with Sikhya's passionate ethos for path-breaking cinema. I'm incredibly excited to start this new partnership, and can't wait for the rest of the journey to unfold.”
