'Peepli Live', Aamir Khan's Anusha Rizvi directed film has been selected for the Sundance Film Festival. Confirms Aamir on his blog :-Am so happy and proud of my writer-director Anusha Rizvi. The film she has made, 'Peepli Live', has been selected at the Sundance Film Festival, in the competition section. This is quite an achievement as Sundance is a festival which is extremely selective about which films it accepts. In fact, if I am not mistaken, it is the first Indian feature film to make it to the competition section there.
'Peepli Live', is a satire, a black comedy about rural life in India. Except for Raghuvir Yadav, most of the actors are facing the camera for the first time, so a predominantly new cast, many of them of Adivasi origin from Madhya Pradesh. And what performances! I have been acting for 20 years and there was so much that I learnt from watching them. I haven’t spoken about the film before as I like to be sure about how the film has turned out before I speak about it. Am rather happy with the way the film has turned out. Am looking forward to see what kind of response it gets at Sundance. Fingers crossed.
