Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 30 (ANI): Actors Aparshakti Khurana, Anupria Goenka and Ishwak Singh-starrer spy thriller film ‘Berlin’ is all set to have its premiere at the Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival.
Directed by Atul Sabharwal, of ‘Jubilee’ and ‘Class of 83’ fame, the film also stars Rahul Bose in a pivotal role.
Talking about the film, Anupriya said, “When the film came to me, I instinctively felt drawn to its world. It is fascinating, intriguing and something that has never been seen before.”
“I’m the only girl in the film and it’s a part that I’ve never done before– it has no dialogues! I wanted to challenge myself as an actor, see how can I emote without any lines whatsoever and make an impact still. The whole film, concept, the period we were diving into was fascinating. The world-building of the film is enigmatic with stellar cast members like Aparshakti, Ishwak Singh and Rahul Bose starring in it. It also gave me an opportunity to collaborate with Atul Sabharwal, whose work had always been stellar. I saw the film recently and I am happy to say that it has turned out brilliantly. It will keep everyone hooked and I am pumped to see how the viewers receive it,” she added.
‘Berlin’ had its world premiere at the Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles earlier in October.
