Lena Kahn

It's a movie that's relevant today, perhaps, more than ever. The Tiger Hunter stars Danny Pudi (Community) as an immigrant in the 1970s, moving to Chicago to find his fortune in order to win the approval of the love of his life's father in India. But it's not simply an immigrant story. In fact, writer-director Lena Kahn didn't set out to make an immigrant story at all. Learn more about The Tiger Hunter's origin, production and newly-minted legacy, as this episode of Shout!Takes introduces us to Lena and the film's producer Megha Kadakia.

Lena Kahn & Megha Kadakia talk the Tiger Hunter

On this week's episode of American Desis, we bring in someone who has melded the ideals of the professional life Desi parents pushed on us with the rebellion of working in the arts Desi parents pushed us away from. Megha Kadakia is a filmmaker, business woman, wife, activist, and dope lady! We get her on the mic to talk about her Desi-centric upbringing, her early years as a business woman, and how those impacted her career today. We also discuss whether she always set out to merge her worlds as an artist and a businesswoman, or if that happened organically. Her story takes us all over the country and gives Akaash many opportunities to make fun of me. We also get a chance to talk about her latest venture: Super Duper Princess Heroes!!
