How do you bring Phoolan Devi back to life on screen — without simply repeating the story audiences already know? At the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) 2026, Connect Cine spoke with director Richie Mehta and actress Sneha, who plays Phoolan Devi in Phoolan, about the process of bringing one of India’s most complex and widely known figures to the screen. The conversation also explores why Phoolan is different from Shekhar Kapur’s 1994 film Bandit Queen, and what Richie Mehta wanted to explore through his own interpretation of Phoolan Devi. Watch the full conversation from TIFF 2026 with Richie Mehta and Sneha. #phoolandevi #shekharkapoor #phoolan1m #tiff2026 #delhicrime -------------------------------------------- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChVmpG7svTIbwlA1Ie4BfKA?sub_confirmation=1 -------------------------------------------- Download the Connect FM Canada App: Play Store: https://bit.ly/38MrCBL App Store: https://apple.co/2WqTeHR Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/connectfmcanada Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/connectfmcanada https://www.youtube.com/c/ConnectFMCanada
