Kumar's '29' teaser asks 'Who are you' and explores identity
Director Rathna Kumar's new film, 29, dives into questions of identity and self-discovery.
The teaser kicks off with a radio jockey asking a bunch of 29-year-old guys, "Who are you?"
And while most answer with their names or jobs, one admits he doesn't actually know.
That honest moment sets the tone for a story about looking past labels and really understanding yourself.
Kumar says '29' primarily romance drama
Kumar describes 29 as "It is primarily a romance drama," but says it's also about finding meaning beyond relationships.
"But there are things beyond that — like self-discovery — which would connect with even those who aren't that keen about love and relationships," he shares.
The seed of the idea was first written down as a Facebook post years ago.
Kumar hopes the movie inspires people to reflect on their own journeys: "It will be a film that will give you a lot of hope."
