Aparshakti Khurana in Berlin
After a well-received performance at International Film Festivals across the globe, 'Berlin' will premiere in India on the silver screen at Red Lorry Film Festival curated by BookMyShow, India's leading entertainment destination. Set to captivate cinephiles, the Film Festival spotlights a power-packed slate of over 100 illustrious titles that will serve as enchanting gateways, offering glimpses into diverse cultures, perspectives and storytelling legacies. A large section of this esteemed lineup comprises titles making their debut on the Indian silver screen following their international theatrical releases, alongside exclusive titles commencing their theatrical journey at Red Lorry Film Festival.
In the heart of 'Berlin', a deaf-mute man finds himself ensnared in a web of suspicion, accused of espionage. As authorities close in, a skilled sign language interpreter steps into the fray, tasked with unraveling the truth on behalf of a government operative. This espionage drama unravels a gripping tale of deception, betrayal, and redemption set against the backdrop of the Cold War era.
Ishwak Singh, brimming with excitement, stated, "Being a part of 'Berlin' has been an extraordinarily enriching journey. Portraying the complexity of a character silenced by circumstance was a profound challenge. I am really excited to bring "Berlin" to the dreamy city of Mumbai! Congratulations to the entire team for this feat!"
Director Atul Sabharwal expresses his gratitude, saying, "The acceptance of 'Berlin' at The 'Red Lorry Film Festival' is truly humbling. It reflects the universal themes and emotional depth of our story that resonates with audiences worldwide as we witnessed at premieres in Los Angeles, London, Canada.
