<p>Iranian filmmaker Mani Haghighi had his passport confiscated at the airport as he was about to board a flight to attend the BFI London Film Festival.</p>

The prestigious London Film Festival’s director Clare Stewart has invited Prakash Jha’s latest film <em>Chakravyuha</em> to be the opening film at the festival. A singular honour, considering no Indian film has opened the London Film Festival since Prakash Jha’s Mrityudand in 1997. There is only one hitch. The festival directorate has requested Prakash Jha to postpone the film’s release date by a week, from 5 Oct to 12 Oct so that the film can be premiered in London.
