I’ve been dreaming of this story for 10 years: a Desi, Muslim twist on the Anastasia story, with adventure, magic, intrigue, revolution, & romance. It’s a love letter to the South Asian heritage and history I love so much. Can’t wait for you to meet Eshaal and the gang next fall!

Rocky aur Rani’s subversion of the construction of the (rich uc Hindu Punjabi) Indian family as the nation is so clever, not least because it allows Johar to highlight its patriarchal roots without having to challenge any of its more politically/culturally sensitive tenets
