Overview
- Prime Video announced on July 21 that Phoolan will screen in TIFF 2026’s Special Presentations programme on September 16 at the Princess of Wales Theatre.
- The film is written and directed by Richie Mehta and produced by Shareen Mantri Kedia, Kishor Arora, Kanwal Kohli and Mehta under the Namah Pictures banner.
- Sneha Kumari stars as Phoolan Devi with Anurag Thakur, Vikram Pratap Singh, Aakash Dahiya, Prateek Pachori and Dev Dutt Budholiya in supporting roles.
- The story, drawn from Phoolan Devi’s autobiography, concentrates on a defining 48-hour siege that makers say involved roughly 2,000 armed men.
- TIFF placement gives the Prime Video Original a high‑profile festival launch that could shape international distribution, critical response and renewed debate over portrayals of Phoolan Devi.
