After a rave reception at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival last year and its theatrical launch in late February, the critically acclaimed coming-of-age drama Superboys of Malegaon has arrived on Prime Video, and leading up to its debut, we sat down with director Reema Kagti, breakout star Shashank Arora, writer Varun Grover, and the film's real-life inspiration Nasir Shaikh.

Speaking with the quartet, Kagti explains what initially inspired her to turn the 2008 documentary into a full-fledged feature film and how this particular story can resonate with audiences of all ages.

Grover and Arora also explain how visiting and talking to the people of Malegaon influenced their approaches, as a writer and actor, respectively, and how they were able to bring a real authenticity to the project - something Shaikh can attest to, as while watching the film, he once again found himself transported to that unique period of his life.
