Director Biography - Prerna Saraff Chauhan

Award-winning director. DoD strategist.. Disruptor.
Prerna is the creative force behind Take A Stand Films, a production house dedicated to the South Asian diaspora. After her short films Gudiyaa and Bi The Way swept awards circuits worldwide, Prerna leaned into her mission: creating "uncomfortable" cinema that fosters healing within families.
Based in Northern Virginia, her perspective is shaped by the duality of her life—navigating the high-stakes world of defense contracting by day and the nuanced world of independent filmmaking by night. She is a storyteller who believes that the most specific stories are the most universal.

Director Statement

Through this film, I hope to provoke conversation about accountability, compassion, and the human cost of delay. Systems are designed to function efficiently — but without empathy, they fail the very people they are meant to serve.

AAKHRI FAISLA is my tribute to every silent soldier who continues to fight unseen battles long after the war is over.
