Prime Video’s original movie 'Phoolan', based on the autobiography of India’s most known bandit queen, Phoolan Devi, will have a special presentation on 16th September 2026 at the 51st edition of the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival. The festival runs from September 10 to 20, 2026. 

The film’s story is based on a defining chapter in her life, whereby thousands of men trap her in a village in an attempt to kill her. The Hindi action drama is written and directed by the critically acclaimed director Richie Mehta and produced by Shareen Mantri Kedia, Kishor Arora, Kanwal Kohli, and Richie Mehta. Sneha Kumari plays Phoolan. Others in the cast are Anurag Thakur, Vikram Pratap Singh, Aakash Dahiya, Prateek Pachori, and Dev Dutt Budholiya.

‘Phoolan’ is about an impoverished 17-year-old girl who became the most famous woman outlaw in Indian history and the target of 2,000 heavily armed men sent to kill her. The film captures a brutal 48-hour siege that defies the conventions of action cinema. The film is set in the heartland of India and is a powerful story.
