Raam Reddy On Making Jugnuma: The Fable
Speaking about the film the director told PTI, “I was very keen to create an immersive world. Like how you go to a theme park for a ride, I want my films to feel like experiences that absorb you so completely, that it’s almost like a trip. You get lost in that world-and honestly, that feeling is what made me want to become a filmmaker, even more than the act of telling stories.”
Jugnuma: The Fable – Plot
Jugnuma: The Fable is a quirky drama set around 1989. The film follows Dev, played by Manoj Bajpayee, a wealthy owner of a Himalayan orchard who uses handcrafted wings to soar across the skies.
