The epic medieval fantasy drama, The Green Knight, is set to release in India on August 27. Produced by American independent film studio, A24, the film has been directed by David Lowery, best-known for A Ghost Story and The Old Man & the Gun.

The film stars Dev Patel as a newly-appointed knight from King Arthur's Round Table, who sets out on a journey to test his courage and face the Green Knight. An adaptation of a 14th-century Middle English chivalric romance titled Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, the film has released in the US last month and was met with critical acclaim. The film also features Alicia Vikander, Joel Edgerton, Sarita Choudhury, and Sean Harris in prominent roles.

The announcement of the film's release makes it one of the major international titles set to hit screens in India after the second wave. While The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard is set to release this Friday, F9 is scheduled to release on August 19.
