Sultan,
the mega blockbuster from Yash Raj Films, continues to drive interest amongst
international movie audiences. The Salman Khan- Anushka Sharma starrer that
combines classic Indian wrestling with an emotional, underdog story has been
shortlisted to compete for top honors at the Shanghai International Film
Festival this June.
A premium festival that focus on quality
cinema from China and South East Asia, Sultan’s entry in the Jackie Chan Action
Movie Week section becomes special, given that action and fight sequences from
this global region sets new standards in cinema everywhere.
Speaking on this, director Ali Abbas Zafar
said, “As a film, Sultan is a home grown story of a fighter and an underdog
rooted in our country’s soil. The film’s action reflects this and has won
popular opinion over in India. That China, a nation with a proud legacy of
cinema and a priceless heritage of classic action and martial arts, has found
it suitable to feature in an action competition section is huge gratification
to us. We are excited and proud to be part of Shanghai International Film
Festival.”
Sultan has also been screened at the
prestigious Busan International Film Festival and the IFFI Goa earlier.
