The upcoming Arjun Mathur and Rasika Dugal film, Lord Curzon Ki Haveli has been selected to be the closing film at the Chicago South Asian International Film Festival (CSAFF), and the opening film at the International South Asian Film Festival (ISAFF) in Vancouver.
The film, which marks Anshuman Jha's directorial debut, also stars Zoha Rahman, Paresh Pahuja and Garrick Hagon. The film received a standing ovation in Australia last month, at the International Film Festival of Melbourne.
Director Anshuman Jha and actors Rasika and Arjun will be in Chicago to present the film on September 24. Speaking about the film's selections, Arjun Mathur said in an official statement, "I was immediately drawn to Lord Curzon Ki Haveli when I read the script, primarily because I could not slot it within any single fixed genre and secondly because in spite of that, my director Anshuman had an extremely clear vision for it."
Further speaking about the film's genre, he said, "And I'm happy to say that the film has not at all strayed from that vision and what has emerged is an exciting chamber film which I now like to call a ‘psychological black-comedy thriller’. These are genres that I find to be rarely explored in Indian Cinema."
