Brooke Bond Taj Mahal presents the premiere of the musical theatre “Kaifi Aur Main” featuring Shabana Azmi, Javed Akhtar, and Jaswinder Singh, in support of India Foundation for the arts (IFA), in Bangalore on July 29th at 7 pm at the St.Johns Auditorium, Koramangala.

Co-sponsors: TATA Mutual Fund, Kitchens of India, Cafe Coffee Day, The Park Hotel and Jet Airways.

Written by Javed Akhtar, directed by Ramesh Talwar, art direction by M.S.Sathyu, and music direction by Kuldip Singh – this theatrical presentation traces the life and poetry of renowned Urdu poet Kaifi Azmi. The letters and writings of Kaifi Azmi and his wife Shaukat Kaifi are brought to life by Shabana and Javed. The early years growing up in his village Mijwan…courtship days….their wedding…life in Bombay in the 50s…Kaifi’s work with mill workers…his fight against life-threatening illness… We attempt to understand Kaifi Azmi, the man behind the poet. In their inimitable style Shabana Azmi and Javed Akhtar take us through a very personal journey and share moments that will be cherished for many a lifetime.
