'Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota' gets standing ovation at MAMI

Filmmaker Vasan Balas 'Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota' which premiered in India

at the 20th Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival got a standing ovation from the

audience and members of the fraternity.

After its grand success at the Toronto International Film Festival the film

featuring Abhimanyu Dassani, Radhika Madan, Gulshan Devaiah, Mahesh

Manjrekar and Jimit Trivedi, which will travel to a few more countries is set

to release next year.

'Mard Ko…' was the opening film for the festival on Friday and was a total sell out.

Producer Ronnie Screwvala who felt quite wild and wacky after hearing the story, said "I knew that if anyone can pull it off,

Vasan can. Though we planned to release in November, but now after this response, we will make it next year."

The story revolves around a young boy played by Abhimanyu, who makes an unusual debut in Bollywood. He said "I really

wanted to be part of what Bala was preparing to make. When he narrated the story I was blown away."
