Manoj Bajpayee-starrer Bhonsle will be premiered under the section ‘A Window on Asian Cinema’,at the upcoming Busan International Film Festival 2018 which is scheduled to take place next month.

“Bhonsle”, directed by Devashish Makhija, is nominated for the “Kim Jiseok Award” in the “A Window on Asian Cinema” section. The “Satyameva Jayate” star will be seen in the role of a terminally ill Maharashtrian police officer named Bhonsle, retired against his will. Manoj says the film’s script came to him around four and a half years ago.

 “We are honoured to premiere ‘Bhonsle’ in the prestigious Busan Film Festival. ‘Bhonsle’ is my third film after ‘Aligarh’ and ‘In The Shadows’ to premiere at Busan. ‘Bhonsle’ is special for me in so many ways. I have co-produced it and it is coming out in the 25th year of my career,” Manoj said in a statement.

 “I strongly believed in the script and the director and we are fortunate to find an amazing producing partner with Muvizz. I am glad that our vision is turning into reality and Busan selection proves that we were on the right path,” he added.
