Kisna is filmmaker Subhash Ghai’s most ambitious project till date. Made at a whopping budget of $5.48 million, Kisna introduces two newcomers – British actress Antonia Bernath and south Indian dancer Isha Sharwani in the leading roles opposite Vivek Oberoi.

The story of Kisna is set in the tumultuous times of 1930s in India when the nationalists rose up against

the British, demanding Independence for their motherland.

The film tells the tale of a young Indian Kisna (Vivek) who befriends a British girl Katherine (Antonia) and saves her from an enraged mob of nationalists that includes his own uncle and brother.
