From Christopher Nolan’s Tenet to Kakbhushundi: Saagar Singhh Announces His Most Ambitious Film Yet

A new cinematic universe is quietly taking shape as the makers of Kakbhushundi unveil an ambitious announcement that blends mythology, science fiction, and psychological mystery into one immersive narrative. Helmed by director Saagar Singhh, the film promises to transport audiences into a realm where destiny, memory, and cosmic forces intersect in unexpected ways.

The story follows Suryansh, a humble café worker whose ordinary day spirals into an extraordinary journey. A chance encounter with Bethany sets off a chain of surreal events-an unseen force, a mysterious figure operating from the shadows, cryptic whispers of another world, and finally, a golden beam that transports Suryansh into a dimension beyond human understanding. There, he encounters the cosmic entity Kakbhushundi, who assigns him a perilous mission tied to hidden truths and forgotten connections. Parallelly, Anand and Meghana are drawn into this unfolding mystery, hinting at layered timelines and emotional stakes that go far beyond reality.

What sets Kakbhushundi apart is not just its narrative ambition but the people shaping it behind the scenes.


Director Saagar Singhh brings with him over 14 years of multifaceted industry experience as an actor, writer, and filmmaker. His time working internationally in the UK alongside Christopher Nolan during the making of Tenet became a defining phase in his creative journey. Saagar often reflects on learning two invaluable lessons from that experience-remaining calm on set regardless of challenges, and creating cinematic brilliance even with limited resources.

He also speaks candidly about the contrast between international and Indian production structures. According to Saagar, international sets function with disciplined structure and professionalism, where egos are kept aside for the larger vision of the film. This observation deeply influenced his approach as a filmmaker. With Kakbhushundi, he aims to build a work culture that encourages collaboration, respects talent at every level, and allows new artists and technicians to grow through opportunity rather than hierarchy.

His recent recognition as a jury member at the Persian Awards Film Festival in Toronto further reflects his growing global presence and evolving cinematic voice. For Saagar, Kakbhushundi is more than a film-it is an attempt to present Indian storytelling with international scale, technical finesse, and narrative depth.

Actor-producer Gouraa Singhh, known for her impactful performances in Balika Vadhu and Chakravartin Ashoka Samrat, steps into production with a deeply personal mission shaped by her decade-long acting journey. Having witnessed on-set partiality, delays, and unequal treatment between lead actors and supporting artists, Gouraa was inspired to step behind the camera to create a more balanced and respectful work environment.

Her experience as an actor significantly influences her decisions as a producer. Gouraa strongly believes that every member of the team-whether cast or crew-deserves equal importance, respect, and support. She emphasizes patience, kindness, and professionalism as the core values she wishes to embed into the production culture of Kakbhushundi. For her, this film is not only a creative venture but also a step toward changing long-followed industry patterns.

On the technical front, the film’s visual grandeur is entrusted to VFX expert Junaid Ullah, whose portfolio includes large-scale cinematic spectacles. From S.S. Rajamouli to Rajinikanth, from Baahubali to Robot to Coolie and many more vfx has been supervied under him.

With such visual expertise backing the project, Kakbhushundi is expected to deliver an experience rich in scale, imagination, and immersive world-building.

With a powerful blend of storytelling, vision, and technical mastery, Kakbhushundi is shaping up to be more than just a film-it is an invitation into a new cinematic dimension crafted by artists determined to push boundaries.
