The Hindi-language epic, produced by Mumbai-based Little Town Films, is sold internationally by Eros International.

The mega event unveiled on Monday a line-up of nine first works by international filmmakers, all of them world premieres.

The movies in the competition line-up include Sudanese director’s Hajooj Kuka’s A Kasha (The Roundup), a comedy of errors set during Sudan’s civil war; German director Andreas Goldstein’s Adam and Evelyn a coming-of-age story set in the immediate aftermath of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Besides, Franco-Swiss directorial duo Alexia Walther and Maxime Matray’s “Blonde Animals”, a comedy involving the former star of a short-lived TV sitcom; and “Still Recording,” a documentary on the conflict in Syria.

Also competing are Finnish pop star-turned-director Anna Eriksoon’s “M”, an experimental horror movie; Italian director Letizia Lamartire’s comedy “We’ll Be Young and Beautiful” about a mother-and-son pop band; and Montenegrin Ivan Salatic’s “You Have the Night”, an economic crisis drama that the section calls “a hymn of human dignity and endurance”.

Tunisian director Abdelhamid Bouchnaka’s horror movie, “Dachra” which deals with the conflict between tradition and modernity through the hope for a revolution that is not yet accomplished, will close the out-of-competition section.

The full official-selection lineup of the 75th Venice Film Festival will be announced on Wednesday. The festival will open from August 29 to September 8.
