In the film Mogul Mowgli, Riz Ahmed stars as Zed, an on-the-rise rapper whose biggest gig yet is threatened by the sudden onset of an illness. He's also forced to confront his own insecurities about his family and British-Pakistani identity. Ahmed co-wrote the movie along with the director Bassam Tariq, and the result is a compelling and surprising story that dances between fiction and autobiography, realism and fantasy.
