going alone this time and of course, Victoria & Abdul has done well across
the globe. They way American audience has responded it is really really
inviting and nice. Basically, Focus features have 3 films this year which are
part of the contenders and we all are going to be there. This is like early

the film and what was our role in it and of course when it comes to me speaking
