When Rani Mukerji walks on the red carpet in Toronto for the gala premiere of her film Dil Bole Hadippa, she will be doing more than heralding the Bollywood masala film. She will also be saluting the 34th Toronto International Film Festival, which embraces films from India more than any other film festival in the world.
'Fans know Rani Mukerji as one of the most beautiful, dynamic women ever to grace a movie screen,' the festival handbook declares. 'Cinephiles know her acting skills are unmatched in India cinema.'
The handbook goes on to explain why Dil Bole Hadippa, the directorial debut of Anurag Singh, was chosen for the event. 'Opportunities rarely come along to see her in a film that draws equally on her dramatic talents and her glam appeal.'
The festival is known for mixing the intensely artistic films with big, splashy but newsworthy films. Many of them come from Hollywood and feature stars like Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Denzel Washington.
