NEW DELHI - Pritish Nandy Communications’ feature film “Ek Tho Chance” will be screened at the 23rd Singapore International Film Festival to be held April 15-24.
Directed by filmmaker Saeed Akhtar Mirza, “Ek Tho Chance” features actors like Purab Kohli, Amrita Arora, Rajat Kapoor and Vinay Pathak. The movie will be screened in the Cinema Today section at the festival.
“Cinema Today is about a modern interpretation of global issues and although ‘Ek Tho Chance’ is aimed at showing the hopeful, the aspirational and sometimes desperate lives of people in Mumbai, were convinced that people from all across the world would appreciate the efforts of director Mirza and his honesty towards the subject since Mumbai is on the world map after ‘Slumdog Millionaire’, festival director Philip Cheah said.
The movie was also screened at the 43rd WorldFest Houston International Film Festival that started Friday.
After Singapore, Ek Tho Chance will travel to London where it has been invited by Cary Sawhney, director of the first edition of the London Indian Film Festival in July.
