Coco & Nut marks his first film since the critically acclaimed 2018 Bengali Beauty, the highest-grossing Bengali language movie of all time. It captured hearts and was also the first to be released in the USA, UK, and China.
The official logline of Pranutan Bahl starrer Coco & Nut reads, “Feeling worthless, an ambitious young woman (Pranutan) fighting to save her marriage gets a pick me up from her know-it-all college sweetheart (Rahsaan).”

While talking about working with Pranutan, Rahsaan says, “I grew up like so many other second generation South Asian Americans – with a love for our movies from the motherland. That’s why we’re making Coco & Nut in English and in Hindi. It’s a privilege to be working with Pranutan on this film. From the moment I saw her in Notebook, I was taken by her talent and knew that I had to work with her one day.”
While talking about the movie, Shiled states, “Coco & Nut is a deeply moving film that captures the universal themes of love, resilience, and cultural identity. It’s a timely exploration of both the immigrant experience and younger generations’ evolving relationship dynamics. The picture will prove to be a poignant reflection of our modern, interconnected world.”
