YRF's Shuddh Desi Romance to screen at Toronto Film Fest

Yash Raj (YRF)’s upcoming film Shuddh Desi Romance has been invited to be screened at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) 2013. “We are delighted to have Shuddh Desi Romance invited to the Toronto International Film Festival for the Gala Red Carpet Premiere. We believe the film is perfect for Toronto, as it is a film that is rooted in rustic India and the characters are very contemporary in their thought, which will no doubt appeal to the diaspora but also the more mainstream audiences. In fact since the announcement was made last night we have had a terrific response from the International media and business community all of whom are vying for the film already - that’s the power of TIFF,” said Avtar Panesar, VP-International Operations of YRF. Shuddh Desi Romance is a fresh rom-com about the hair-raising minefield between love, attraction and commitment. The film that is based in today’s modern yet desi heartland has Sushant Singh Rajput playing the role of a casual Boy-next-door Raghu while Parineeti Chopra plays the role of Gayatri, his lover. The grand screening will be attended by director Maneesh Sharma and writer Jaideep Sahni along with the cast Sushant Singh Rajput, Parineeti Chopra and debutant Vaani Kapoor. The Gala Red Carpet Premiere will be held on September 11th at the prominent Roy Thomson Hall with a 2000 capacity in Toronto, Canada. TIFF is among the top film festivals in the world and it is indeed an honour to be selected for such a screening.
