Director Bassam Tariq's debut fiction feature, stars Riz Ahmed (Nightcrawler, Star Wars: Rogue One), who also co-wrote the film, drawing from his own musical background and British-Pakistani roots, to deliver a personal performance in a film about a fierce MC on the cusp of a major tour and commercial success, whose dreams of global fame are cut-down by an autoimmune disease.
A thoughtful exploration of cultural identity, family and the impact of physical illness, Mogul Mowgli is an honest evocation of the British-Asian experience.
