The Rasika Dugal and Arjun Mathur-starrer had its world premi&egrave;re at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM), followed by a North American premi&egrave;re where it received a standing ovation. The team was hoping to repeat the experience in Vancouver. However, tourist-related travel problems have become a prominent issue in the wake of India&rsquo;s announcement to temporarily halt visa processing for Canadian nationals due to concerns for their staff&rsquo;s safety.

Talking to mid-day, he says, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s unfortunate that none of us are in Canada for ISAFF. I wish art and politics were kept apart, but this is the world we live in. We are excited that our film is the opening night film at ISAFF. I hope the audience enjoys our film about Asians in the West, and the spirit of Alfred Hitchcock sits at the screening.&rdquo;
