It was a busy day for Indian films at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) as Anurag Kashyap’s Mukkabaaz and Hansal Mehta’s Omerta both had their world premieres last night, 11 September.
The cast and directors showed up to present the film to the international audiences.
Mukkabaaz, which is based on a true story, stars Vineet Kumar Singh and Zoya Hussain.
According to the festival website, Singh, plays a boxer, Shravan, who comes from the lower-caste. He delivers a nasty punch Bhagwan's face — his employer, the local kingpin, and the top boxing promoter in the region. Following this episode, Bhagwan puts in all his forces to stop Shravan from ascending up the ranks of the championship, while also preventing Shravan from pursuing the high caste woman, Sunaina, he has fallen in love with.
Singh shared a photo of Anurag Kashyap with him and actress Zoya Hussain, who plays Sunaina.
