Over a decade after her last feature, Tum: A Dangerous Obsession (2004), which starred Manisha Koirala, writer-director Aruna Raje is helming a film again. Her latest, Firebrand, produced by Priyanka Chopra and mother Madhu, dropped on Netflix over the weekend.

Raje, 73, is probably among the oldest filmmakers to debut on a digital platform. "Whether young or old, it is your passion for film-making that matters. But I do have over 50 years of experience," says the director, best remembered for films like the Vinod Khanna-Shabana Azmi-starrer Shaque (1976), Padmini Kolhapure's Gehrayee (1980), and Rihaee (1988), which starred Hema Malini, Naseeruddin Shah and Vinod Khanna.
