Swara Bhasker turns producer with Kahaaniwaaley

Swara Bhasker, one of Bollywood’s most acclaimed young actresses known for her powerhouse performances, and her unafraid stances on social issues is all set to break new ground.

The actress has joined hands with her entrepreneur brother Ishan Bhaskar to flag off their new venture, a production house titled Kahaaniwaaley.

Swara’s unconventional and bold choices as an actor, including Anaarkali Of Aarah, Nil Battey Sannata and Veere Di Wedding among others, have certainly left a lasting impression with the audience as well as with writers and producers who often approach her for interesting and compelling stories.

Considering this, the powerhouse performer has consciously decided to set up her production house with the aim to create and support such entertaining and hard-hitting cinema.

“The idea of Kahaaniwaaley has been in the works since a year and a half. At Kahaaniwaaley, the aim is to support good scripts and filmmakers that have these fresh and powerful stories but don’t get the right platform to showcase them,” says Swara.

Sharing more about the origin of this idea, her brother Ishan says, “There was a very popular Amrita Sher Gil painting — Ancient Storyteller —  at our house in Delhi that served as an inspiration for Swara and I. The core idea of the painting is to tell stories which are compelling, fresh, raw and very different from the rest. Both Swara and I share a desire to make striking stories. Hence, when the opportunity came to set up Kahaani-waaley, it fit our vision perfectly.”
