Debut-making director Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan will be honoured at the forthcoming Salento International Film Festival (Italy), to be held September 3-14, 2009.
LAHORE, which is in the World Competition Section of the film festival, is the opening night film presentation.
LAHORE is a compelling tale set against the backdrop of competitive sports on the international arena. The story revolves around the potentially portentous lives of two brothers from Rajastan - one a national kickboxing champion, the other a renowned star cricketer. When fate takes them on a convoluted path that challenges the bedrock of all that they believe to be good and decent in human behavior, life-changing choices have to be made that will bring either sorrow or absolution. Deep emotions are evident in the movie when interactions between citizens of two nations, which fought three wars, are shown.
The film has a stellar cast comprising of veteran actors like Nafisa Ali, Farouque Shaikh, Ashish Vidyarthi, Nirmal Pandey, Sabyasachi Chakraborty, Sourav Shukla, Sushant Singh, Kelly Dorji. The newcomer Aanaahad makes his debut with the film.
