In the rarefied air of international cinema, where East meets West in increasingly sophisticated ways, two names have begun to whisper through the corridors of influence from Mumbai’s Film City to London’s Soho House to Dubai’s most exclusive screening rooms. Pranutan Bahl and Rahsaan Noor – she, the embodiment of Bollywood aristocracy; he, the exiled poet-prince of Bengali cinema – represent something entirely new in the global entertainment landscape.

Their upcoming film, Coco & Nut, set to begin production this September, has already sent ripples through the industry that extend far beyond typical pre-production buzz. When the project was announced, it didn’t merely trend on entertainment portals – it commanded attention from Deadline to Filmfare, with paparazzi suddenly tracking the movements of this intensely private pair who prefer to let their craft speak louder than their headlines.
