Sing is kinng is nominated for Toronto International Film Festival

Akshay Kumar’s Singh Is Kinng distributors claim has grossed $25 million worldwide in just two weeks -- will have a high profile release at the Toronto International Film Festival next month.
"The story is set one month after the violent events of 2002 came to an end," says Nandita, who has been working to get the project off the ground for over four years. The story, which unfolds over 24 hours, 'explores the impact of violence on the human psyche, on relationships, and on one's ability to remain hopeful in the face of a horrendous tragedy.'

The festival, which after Cannes and Berlin, has become a powerhouse for the sale of small and big films from across the globe will also show films directed by Deepa Mehta and Priyadarshan (Kanchivaram). Mira Nair and Shekhar Kapur's short films, a part of the New York, I Love You omnibus are also being screened.

TIFF has started offering a slate of highly popular films along with the gritty and introspective art film recently, and shows at least one high profile Bollywood film. Last year, it screened Rituparno Ghosh's The Last Lear, and before that, it screened Karan Johar's Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna 'The festival has always been dedicated to showcasing the best in films from Asia for our diverse Toronto audiences,' the festival's co-director Cameron Bailey said in a statement. Bailey had programmed South Asian films at the festival for over five years. 'With programmer Raymond Phathanavirangoon now selecting our films from Southeast Asia, TIFF has increased its focus on the vibrant film communities in these regions, paving the way for a significant presence of Asian cinema at this year's festival,' he added.
