Mary Kom to première at TIFF 2014

The Toronto International Film Festival had its opening press conference on July 22 to announce some of their Gala and Special Presentations for the 39th annual festival that will take over the attention of the global film industry in September. A festival that has had a longstanding affinity for Indian cinema continued its tradition of hosting red carpet premieres for Indian films with the announcement that Priyanka Chopra starrer ‘Mary Kom’ will have its world premiere in Toronto! Directed by Omung Kumar and produced by Viacom18 & Sanjay Leela Bhansali, ‘Mary Kom’ sees Priyanka transformed into a world champion boxer who climbs from traditional life in remote Manipur to international fame. 

When asked about the other Indian films that are expected to take part in TIFF14 Cameron Bailey, Artistic Director of the Festival and Programmer for South Asia, reassured the press and public that there are more announcements to be made in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!
