Actor Jitendra Kumar is all set to star in a brand new film alongside Pooja Bhatt. The project delves into the emotionally wealthy and barely explored world of kabootar-baazi—India’s age-old pigeon-flying tradition.
Jitendra Kumar and Pooja Bhatt team up for film set in India’s traditional pigeon-flying culture
A Story Rooted in Culture and Emotion
Jitendra Kumar, widely loved for his performances in Panchayat, Kota Factory, Jaadugar, Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan, and the recent Bhagwat: Chapter One – Raakshas, takes on one other unique role on this upcoming film. He can be seen as a passionate kabootarbaaz, bringing depth and realism to a personality shaped by this traditional sport and its community.
National Award-winning actor Pooja Bhatt will play Jitendra’s on-screen mother. Known for her powerful and layered performances in Zakhm, Tamanna, and Daddy, Pooja returns to a more intimate storytelling space that highlights her emotional strength as a performer.
The Team Behind the Film
The film is produced by Khyati Madaan under her banner Not Out Entertainment and co-produced by Hitesh Kewalya, who’s best known for writing Shubh Mangal Saavdhan and each writing and directing Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan.
It’s written and directed by Bilal Hasan, whose short film Chupchaap earned multiple awards and a Filmfare nomination. This marks Bilal’s debut as a feature film director.
Exploring India’s Pigeon-Flying Tradition
Set against the backdrop of kabootar-baazi—a practice that involves training and racing homing pigeons from neighborhood rooftops—the film goals to capture a culture that continues to thrive in India’s old mohallas and amongst pigeon-racing communities world wide. While rooted on this traditional setting, the story is ultimately a human drama that focuses on relationships, legacy, and keenness. Filming is predicted to start next 12 months.
Not Out Entertainment’s Expanding Slate
Not Out Entertainment is steadily constructing a various lineup of movies that mix originality with industrial appeal. The banner is currently producing Abhootpurva, a romantic horror comedy set in Nineteen Nineties Agra, starring Ritwik Bhowmik alongside an ensemble forged of seven acclaimed actors. Following Abhootpurva, the corporate will produce a horror film inspired by a real-life national tragedy, starring Ahan Shetty.
With these projects, Not Out Entertainment continues to carve out a distinct segment for itself in Indian cinema by backing stories which might be each rooted and refreshing.
