ASSAD ZAMAN as Rohit in The Saint Of Southall (2020), dir. Isher Sahota
Written and directed by Sahota, based on a short story by Israel Zangwill. Aleena and Rohit, played by Mona Goodwin and Assad Zaman, are a young couple living in a shared house in Southall, West London. Living with Kulwinder (Kulwant Sahota), her wheelchair-bound grandson Amar (Jahan Anand), and Tejinder (Bhasker Patel), amongst others, it’s Tejinder who believes he has seen a divine apparition whilst out on a walk. Coinciding with the religious festival Vaisakhi, upon hearing about the vision, Kulwinder is adamant that the resonance of the sighting on such a holy day will heal her grandson. But has there simply been a misunderstanding?
