The Tabu-starrer action-spy-thriller film 'Khufiya' is all set to have its world premiere at the Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles (IFFLA).

The Tabu-starrer action-spy-thriller film 'Khufiya' is all set to have its world premiere at the Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles (IFFLA).

Directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, 바카라˜Khufiya바카라™ is based on the novel 바카라˜Escape to Nowhere바카라™, written by the former R&AW (Research and Analysis Wing) chief of counter espionage, Amar Bhushan, seeing the 바카라˜Andhadhun바카라™ actress as a covert operative, embarking on a secret and dangerous mission that requires her to juggle roles as a spy and a lover.

Bhardwaj, known best for his dramatic film adaptations of Shakespeare바카라™s works with films such as 바카라˜Maqbool바카라™, 바카라˜Omkara바카라™, 바카라˜Haider바카라™ and more lately, with his Agatha Christie retread, in 바카라˜Charlie Chopra바카라™, will also give a full masterclass on his filmmaking journey and multi-faceted creative process across screenwriting, directing and music, as was reported by Variety.

The festival바카라™s other feature selections include: the world premiere of Atul Sabharwal바카라™s 바카라˜Berlin바카라™, Dominic Sangma바카라™s Garo-language film supernatural tale 바카라˜Rapture바카라™, the Malayalam film 바카라˜Aattam' (or 바카라˜The Play바카라™) by Anand Ekarshi, and 바카라˜Joram바카라™, by Devashish Makhija.

바카라˜Aatam바카라™ is full scale chamber drama starring Vinay Forrt, and covers the personal story of a chaotic venture, that ensues amidst a twelve-man theater troupe when their sole female member is groped by one of her colleagues, covering aspects of sexual harassment and molestation.

바카라˜Joram바카라™, which stars Manoj Bajpayee and Tannishtha Chatterjee, is a neo-noir adventure thriller where a young couple flee their tribal battleground for a peaceful life in Mumbai, only to be followed by a ruthless shadow from their past who sends them clinging for dear life.

IFFLA바카라™s US premieres of two documentary features are: 바카라˜The World is Family바카라™, by filmmaker Anand Patwardhan which pays tribute to his parents whose lives were closely linked with India바카라™s Independence movement and 바카라˜The Golden Thread바카라™, by Nishtha Jain, a lyrical homage to one of the last remaining jute mills in West Bengal.

IFFLA executive director Christina Marouda said: 바카라œWe are thrilled to enter IFFLA바카라™s third decade offering a unique and much needed platform for emerging South Asian storytellers, and bringing a highly curated program to Los Angeles audiences."

바카라œLos Angeles has become home to countless artists with roots across South Asia and its diasporas. IFFLA has long been a vital touchstone for filmmakers due to both the platform it provides for their work to be seen in the heart of the American film industry as well as the support and networking it has offered the directors, actors, and other film artists", she added.
