Toronto: Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi-starrer ‘Tigers’, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) recently, will hit theatres in India in January 2015.
The film, directed by the Oscar-winning Bosnian filmmaker Danis Tanovic, is based on the true story of a salesman, Syed Aamir Raza, with a multinational pharmaceutical firm in Pakistan.
‘Tigers’, which seeks to relay a broader message about the benefits of breastfeeding, delivers a harsh judgement on the practises of MNCs in developing countries like Pakistan.
Tanovic said that the film is likely to be released in India in January next year.
Hashmi, who is making his Hollywood debut with ‘Tigers’, said the film is a brave, new breed of cinema.
“It is a global project with Indian and foreign cast and crew, directed by a Bosnian, set in Pakistan, and filmed in four countries including Patiala in India,” the 35-year-old actor said.
Emraan’s character in the film Tigers is called Ayan, and he features with a principal cast including names like Geetanjali Thapa, Danny Huston, Khalid Abdalla, Adil Hussain, Maryam D’Abo, Satyadeep Misra, Heino Ferch, Sam Reid, Supriya Pathak and Vinod Nagpal. The producers involved in the project are Anurag Kashyap, Guneet Monga, Prashita Chaudhary, Kshitij Chaudhary, Cedomir Kolar, Marc Baschet, Andy Paterson and Cat Villiers, while Prerna Saigal has edited it.
