According to the film’s publicists, “Fortissimo Films will now handle the international sales” of the movie that will premiere at the film festival that starts on May 16.

Michael J Werner, chairman of Fortisssimo Films says, “Ashim is a true original on the Indian cinema scene; he’s an auteur. We are so thrilled to work with him and his team on this amazing film.” The director, meanwhile, is equally thrilled. “Fortissimo has been a company that I’ve been obsessed with. They’ve backed Hou Hsiao Hsien, Wong Kar Wai and much of the contemporary cinema that I love,” says Ashim.
