A feature film about Amir Hussain Lone, an armless para cricketer who captains the Jammu and Kashmir para cricket team, is presented at the Cannes Film Festival. Multiple outlets report that the film’s unveiling takes place on the festival sidelines, introducing the project to an international audience.
The project is directed by Nishil Sheth, an Indian writer-director. Sources note that Sheth’s debut feature, “Bhasmasur,” has screened on the international festival circuit and received recognition. The reports describe the film as a biopic focused on Lone’s life and cricketing journey.
While details about release timelines, cast, and production scope are not included in the shared excerpts, both outlets agree on the core facts: the subject of the film is Amir Hussain Lone, the film is positioned as a biographical work, and Nishil Sheth is attached as director. Both accounts also link the announcement or unveiling directly to Cannes, indicating the project is being introduced in that setting.
