“We’re honoured to have Farah Khan as our chief guest this year at the 17th edition of our festival. She’s a true role model for female filmmakers, in this macho centric world of cinema. She’s had phenomenal success in directing blockbuster Bollywood movies that entertain the masses with quality story-telling,” said festival director Pushpinder Chowdhry.

A choreography workshop coinciding with a special ‘Bollywood Razzmatazz’ evening will be followed up by a filmmaking masterclass where Khan will shed light on her remarkable Bollywood journey.

The line-up for this year’s edition, which will run until March 29th, is being finalised and will include a wide array of screenings and special guests from across South Asia.
