Kabir Khan to make comeback into documentary genre with 'The Wolf'

Mumbai, Jun 12 (UNI) Acclaimed filmmaker Kabir Khan is revisiting his documentary roots after nearly two decades with "The Wolf", an observational documentary that is set to have its world premiere on June 13 at the Sheffield International Documentary Festival.
Directed by the filmmaking duo of Wancheng Gu and Prasad Sudhakar Shetty, the film is an observational documentary following Yuan, a 60-year-old queer former village mayor in Shanghai, as she navigates love, family obligations and shifting economic landscapes.
Delving deeply into themes of LGBTQIA visibility, feminist resilience, aging, and contemporary Chinese culture, the film delivers a rare, universal perspective on autonomy and reinvention later in life, reports Variety India.
While Khan is best known for directing blockbuster films including "Bajrangi Bhaijaan", "83" and "Kabul Express", he has joined "The Wolf" as a producer and creative collaborator, lending his experience and perspective to a project that resonates strongly with his storytelling sensibilities.
Khan explained, "I began my journey as a storyteller through documentaries, and documentaries were a very enriching part of my career. They gave me not only the ability to travel all over the world to more than 80 countries, but they also gave me a worldview. It gave me the ability to recognise human stories and see them in the socio-political context.
"Those are the tools that I then started using in mainstream cinema when I came to Mumbai. Ever since my journey into mainstream cinema, I wanted to go back and do one more documentary."
