More Film Festival Screenings - Egypt, Goa . . .

Earlier I mentioned that the movie got selected for Shanghai International Film Festival. After the Shanghai Film Festival, AA was screened on 2 other film festivals. Recently many controversies and court stays were involved in 40th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) held by Government of India’s Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. This is one of the best events in India. So getting selected to be screened in this event is very prestigious for AA. Originally there were some issues with some Malayalam movies that were selected for this event and so Kerala High Court stayed the publication of results of films selected for the Indian Panorama.

At that point 2 Tamil movies - Achchamundu Achchamundu and Pasanga were in the selection list. No one was clear on what is going to happen to the results of films selected after the Kerala High Court stay. But finally the movie did get selected and screened. Director, Arun Vaidyanathan attended the event and confirms that the movie was well received.

Earlier, AA was selected for screening at the 33rd Cairo International film festival in Egypt (Nov 10, 2009). One of the producer who was at the event confirms that movie was well received. AA was also selected and screened at Digital Cinema Film Festival in Japan. Telugu audience can enjoy the movie soon as Bhayam. Yes, the movie is getting dubbed for the Telugu audience.
