Anil Kapoor to attend Thank You For Coming premiere at TIFF
Anil is confirmed to grace the 46th Toronto International Film Festival 2023 with his presence. The actor has a special role in Thank You For Coming and is also its co-producer with daughter Rhea Kapoor. The film is set for its world premiere at the distinguished and luxurious Roy Thompson Hall in Toronto.
Excited for his appearance, Anil shares, “You know, I’ve been wanting to attend TIFF ever since Slumdog Millionaire! That year, I traveled to pretty much all the celebrated festivals for Slumdog – from BFI at London to Cannes and everything in between. The only festival I couldn’t attend then was TIFF. And that was only because my visa didn’t arrive in time for me to be there. So TIFF has been on my bucket list ever since! I may not have been able to attend the festival then as part of the cast of a movie, but this year I get to be there in the capacity of a proud producer! Thank You For Coming has so much heart, soul and sass, and I’m so grateful to be a part of it’s showcase on such a hallowed platform!”
Along with Anil, the film’s cast including Bhumi, Shehnaaz Gill, Dolly Singh, Kusha Kapila and Shibani Bedi will also be present at the event. Accompanying them will be producer Ektaa R Kapoor and director Karan Boolani.
