Today marks the highly anticipated premiere of 'We Are Faheem & Karun' at the Dharamshala International Film Festival, a film helmed by acclaimed filmmaker Onir and featuring Kashmiri actor Mir Tawseef in his debut lead role as Faheem. Set against the stunning yet complex landscape of Kashmir, the film tells the story of a college student navigating the layers of identity, belonging, and resilience in his homeland.
Mir Tawseef, originally from Srinagar, moved to Delhi for his education, where he initially made his mark through modeling for brands like Parle, Hilton, and Raymonds, and collaborating with iconic designers like Sabyasachi and Manish Malhotra. However, a life-changing opportunity came when he auditioned for Onir’s film, leading him to transition to Mumbai to bring Faheem’s character to life.
