I made Sultana because I saw a gap in the market for authentic Muslim stories in film. Instead of focusing on violence, I wanted to tell a coming-of-age story about the first Muslim queen of Delhi—one centered on peace, love, and forgiveness. Her journey challenged stereotypes and highlighted the rich, untold narratives within Muslim history. Through Sultana, I aimed to show that there are countless Muslim stories still waiting to be explored, offering fresh perspectives beyond the usual portrayals. It was important to me to bring this unique and inspiring story to the screen.
