The Black Prince set for international release

As India and the UK celebrate 70 years of partnership, the film

The Black Prince

, produced by

Brillstein Entertainment

is set for its international release on 21st July 2017.

The film is a historic biopic on the poignant life story of the last King of Punjab –

Maharajah Duleep Singh

– also known as The Black Prince. The film stars Satinder Sartaaj who makes his film debut as Maharajah Duleep Singh, Shabana Azmi who plays the role of Rani Jindan, the exiled King’s mother, and Jason Flemyng.

The Maharajah was one the earliest freedom fighters for Indian independence, and is in fact the earliest known Indian freedom fighter from outside the country.

The Black Prince is a period drama, filmed widely across the UK and India. As the last King of Punjab, chronicles Maharajah Duleep Singh's lifelong struggle and daring journey of self-discovery in order to reclaim his identity, his faith, and the Kingdom that was rightfully his.

This ultimately leads him to meeting his mother after 13 years of her being in exile. The Black Prince spotlights Queen Victoria’s cordial relationship with Maharajah Duleep Singh, as he begins adjusting and embracing the English culture he was drawn to at the age of 15.

The film also sheds light into his upbringing as an aristocrat in the UK who converts to Christianity under the influence of his foster parents, but later longs to return to his Kingdom, mother and roots.
