PIPPA set in 1971 against the backdrop of one of the largest refugee migrations in modern history that led to the liberation and formation of a country, is a story that must be told and we can’t wait to unravel the scale of this epic movie to audiences."Pippa is written by Ravinder Randhawa, Tanmay Mohan, and Raja Krishna Menon.
