The co-director of the Toronto Film Festival (TIFF), Cameron Bailey, has said that Dhobi Ghat is a rare film and is meant for the global audience. The film will be premièred during the second day of the TIFF, which is slated to begin today (September 9th).

In an interview, Bailey had said, “It is a film of great ambition - it is doing things that we don't see in Indian cinema very often. Then you have Aamir Khan - who I think is really one of the national treasures of India - in the lead role. All these things combined made it a movie we had to have here.”

Dhobi Ghat, incidentally, is directed by Aamir’s wife Kiran Rao. She was also praised for making a dream directorial debut.
