Ishqiya to grace Cairo film festival

MUMBAI: Starting 2010 as the first box-office hit, Ishqiya is set to make another international splash at the 34th Cairo International Film Festival starting from 30 November to 9 December.

The film has already been screened in several International Film Festivals and has got a good response from the audience.

Says Shemaroo Entertainment Director Hiren Gada, “We are getting an overwhelming response from people world wide. The film has already participated in around five international film festivals and is appreciated by all.”

Cairo International Film Festival is the oldest festival in the Middle East and has been an inspiration to several other budding festivals.

This year the 33rd Cairo International Film Festival will have actor Dr Ezzat Abou Ouf presiding over the event while Omar Sharif would function as honorary president.
