'Bombairiya' to premiere at a film festival in Delhi

Just days before its theatrical release across India, director Pia Sukanya’s upcoming comedy mystery 'Bombairiya' has been creating a buzz for being an entertaining film with a social message. Last week, a private screening of the film was hosted by Pinky Anand, Additional Solicitor General of India at the Supreme Court, for other members of the judiciary.
Today, the film will open the first edition of the Diorama International Film Festival, which is being held at the Siri Fort Auditorium in Delhi, at 7 pm. Manoj Srivastava, the festival’s Chairman, first heard about Bombairiya from Adil Hussain, who plays the antagonist in the film. On the actor’s recommendation, he contacted producer Michael Ward and invited him to premiere the film at the festival. Bombairiya, which will be released by SPE Films India, revolves around the theme of witness protection, which is relevant to India, as countless witnesses either turn hostile and recant their evidence or do not testify at all. The film stars Radhika Apte in the lead, along with Siddhanth Kapoor, Akshay Oberoi, Adil Hussain, Shilpa Shukla, Ajinkya Deo and Ravi Kishan.
'Bombairiya', presented by Kreo Films FZ and Beautiful Bay Entertainment, releases on January 18.
