Synopsis:
'Kisna' is a period film set in the pre-independence era of 1930. It`s a mega-historical that reflects on the strong emotional and human ties that link Britain to India. Kisna will now be called Kisna - The Soldier of Humanity.

The film is set in the India of the tumultuous 1930`s when nationalists fighting for the country`s independence rose up as one, urging the British to quit. At this time, a young Indian, Kisna ( Vivek Oberoi ) befriends and then shields a British girl Katherine ( Antonia Bernath ), from an enraged mob of nationalists including Kisna`s own uncle and brother.

Katherine is the young daughter of a ruthless British collector. Kisna takes it upon himself to escort Katherine to the safety of the British High Commission in New Delhi, who will arrange for her to board a ship home.

A tender attraction develops between Kisna and Katherine during the journey, a love story that is torn between ‘ Karma ` (the noble deed) and ‘ Dharma ` (the duty). Laxmi ( Isha Shravani ), the Indian girl Kisna is engaged to, forms the third point in an emotional triangle involving the Indo-British romantic pair.

The film introduces two new faces on the Bollywood screen – Isha Shravani and Antonio Bernath. Isha Shravani is an accomplished classical dancer from Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala) and the daughter of renowned dancer Daksha Sheth. Antonio Bernath is of British origin and was studying drama at Bristol`s Old Vic Theatre School. She opted out of drama school when her agent asked her to audition for Kisna and luckily she bagged the role in Kisna.

Ghai has roped in the sensuous Sushmita Sen to gyrate on a qawalli composed by music maestro Ismail Darbar and choreographed by Saroj Khan .
