The festival that is schedule to start on June 22, will also screen Anubhab Sinha’s Article 15, Ritesh Batra’s Photograph, Rima Das’s Bulbul Can Sing and more. Anurag Kashyap, Radhika Apte, Gurinder Chadha and several others will be present at the do.

Meanwhile, Vinci Da had a stretch of 22 consecutive houseful shows at Nandan. “While getting houseful shows at Nandan is not a rare sight, 22 consecutive shows are something interesting,” Srijit told us.

This is Srijit’s second film with Sohini after Rajkahini.
