Lord Curzon Ki Haveli to be closing night film at Chicago South Asian International Film Festival 

Lord Curzon Ki Haveli, the upcoming film starring actors Arjun Mathur and Rasika Dugal will serve as the closing night film at the Chicago South Asian International Film Festival 2023, as well as the opening film at the International South Asian Film Festival, Vancouver.

The film helmed by Anshuman Jha in his directorial debut, also features Zoha Rahman, Paresh Pahuja and Garrick Hagon. Anshuman Jha, Rasika Dugal and Arjun Mathur will be present in Chicago to present the film on September 24.

“I was immediately drawn to Lord Curzon Ki Haveli when I read the script, primarily because I could not slot it within any single fixed genre and secondly because inspite of that, my director Anshuman had an extremely clear vision for it. And I'm happy to say that the film has not at all strayed from that vision and what has emerged is an exciting chamber-film which I now like to call a ‘psychological black-comedy thriller’. These are genres that I find to be rarely explored in Indian Cinema,” said Arjun Mathur.

Written by Bikas Mishra, the film will focus on the Asian diaspora in the UK and will be shot on a single lens. The shooting has been completed. It is backed by Golden Ratio Films and First Ray Films.
