Encouraging audiences to catch the film in theaters, he added, “If you want to see something that defies the mainstream narrative today as much as it did 15 years ago, catch the film in the cinema before it’s gone!”
Directed by Dev Benegal, ‘Road, Movie’ features Tannishtha Chatterjee and the late Satish Kaushik. It first premiered at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival and later had screening in the Generation 14plus section at the 60th Berlin International Film Festival in 2010. The story follows Vishnu, a young man embarking on a transformative journey across India’s vast landscapes.
Abhay Deol is also in the spotlight for his latest film, ‘Bun Tikki’, which had its global premiere at the 36th Palm Springs International Film Festival (PSIFF) in California. Directed by Faraz Arif Ansari, the coming-of-age drama explores themes of identity, love, and family.
The film centers around seven-year-old Shanu and his single father, Sidhant, as they navigate personal struggles and societal expectations. Shanu’s journey of self-discovery intertwines with Sidhant’s challenge of balancing grief and parenthood.
Featuring an impressive ensemble cast, including Zeenat Aman, Shabana Azmi, Nushrratt Bharuccha, and Rohaan Singh, ‘Bun Tikki’ has already generated buzz.
Adding to his eventful phase, Abhay Deol recently reunited with Hrithik Roshan and Farhan Akhtar for a commercial for Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. The trio, last seen together in ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’, brought back their camaraderie for the advertisement, much to the delight of fans.
