The Nandita Das-directed film, ‘Zwigato’, will have its world premiere at the 47th edition of the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), which is being held from September 8 to September 18 in the largest Canadian city.<\/p>\n
The film has been written and directed by Nandita Das, and stars comedian Kapil Sharma and Shahana Goswami. It will premiere in the ‘Contemporary World Cinema’ section at the festival.<\/p>\n
Commenting on the occasion, Director Nandita Das said, “‘Zwigato’ is finally ready. A story about new urban India that is not just about the gig economy, but also about everything that we normalise around us.”<\/p>\n
The film features Kapil Sharma, who is a new food delivery rider, exploring the world of gig economy. Shahana Goswani plays his wife, a homemaker, who to support his income, starts to work for the very first time. Set in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, it captures what an ‘ordinary’ family faces in the post-pandemic world.<\/p>\n
The film has been jointly produced by Sameer Nair’s Applause Entertainment and Nandita Das Initiatives.<\/p>\n
Talking about the collaboration, the filmmaker said, “I found the perfect producing partner in Sameer Nair to tell this simple yet complex slice-of-life film.”<\/p>\n
“I am thrilled that it will premiere soon at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). This means a lot to me personally as I have debuted there both as an actor and director, with ‘Fire and Firaaq’, respectively.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
