After having impressed everyone with his fine acting skills in many films, actor Anshuman Jha is now all set to don the director’s hat. The debutante filmmaker is leaving no stone unturned to ensure the box-office success of the film. The film has been titled ‘Lord Curzon Ki Haveli’ and is a black comedy thriller. The film is now all set to have its world premiere at the Indian Film Festival Of Melbourne 2023.

The film, which stars Arjun Mathur, Rasika Dugal, Paresh Pahuja, Zoha Rahman and Tanmay Dhaninia, will be having its world premiere as the 'Centrepiece Spotlight Film' (Official Selection - Out Of Competition) at the prestigious IFFM 2023, Australia. For the unversed, the film, which has been written by the award winning Bikas Mishra, is a revelatory tale about the Asian diaspora in the UK. Besides this, the film also happens to be the first mainstream Indian feature film to be shot on a single lens.

In a media statement, Anshuman Jha said, “I am thrilled to present 'Lord Curzon Ki Haveli' at Indian Film Festival Of Melbourne 2023. I thank the jury at IFFM 2023 for selecting us as the 'Centrepiece Spotlight'. And I am very grateful to my team(cast&crew) Jetty Productions & Golden Ratio Films for their trust & support through this challenging but memorable experience. We are excited to start the film's festival festival run in Australia & I hope the audience enjoys this cinematic journey. I hope Mr. Alfred Hitchcock is blessing us from there as this is my homage to him.”

On her part, Rasika Duggal said in a media statement, “I am delighted that our film is premiering at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne which always has a discerning audience with an appetite for fun! It was an absolute joy collaborating with, and playing off, my co-actors who helped me experience Ira in a very special way - a woman who navigates and negotiates patriarchy with an undeniable spirit and with a sense of mischief. I hope the film resonates with the audience”. The film, which has been produced by Golden Ratio Films and First Ray Films, will be having its UK premiere, American premiere and Indian premiere lined up.
