IFC’s ‘Road, Movie’ to premiere at Toronto fest

MUMBAI: Dev Benegal‘s Road Movie will be premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) this year. The event will begin on 10 September and will run for over ten days.
The film, presented by the Indian Film Company (IFC) will be screened as a special presentation at the Winter Garden Theatre on 18 September. The special presentation screenings showcase high-profile films featuring major stars and directors from around the world.

Said Indian Film Company CEO Sandeep Bhargava, “We are extremely delighted that TIFF has chosen our film to premiere at the festival. The selection of our film is an endorsement of our vision to back high-quality international cinema.”

Produced by Susan B Landau and Ross Katz, Road Movie‘s screenplay has been penned by Benegal and talks about Vishnu, a restless young man, who rejects his father‘s faltering hair oil business and hits the road with a moving cinema (bioscope).

The film stars Abhay Deol, Tannishtha Chatterjee and Satish Kaushik in lead roles and is slated to hit the theatres next year.
