The director has a knack for constructing on wacky themes — be it his debut movie Being Cyrus (2005) that revolved round a dysfunctional Parsi household, or his upcoming maiden internet collection, Saas Bahu Aur Flamingo that tells the story of a matriarch working a drug cartel.

The crime thriller subverts the regressive saas-bahu dramas, depicting girls who run a drug enterprise which will stereotypically be seen as a male-dominated subject. Nevertheless, the director-writer emphasises that the story isn’t about feminine empowerment. “It’s about empowered individuals, however it’s not [about] girls empowerment.

What’s empowering about these girls is that they dwell by their very own algorithm.”
