Short film Natkhat starring Vidya Balan to premiere in digital film fest on June 2

Vidya Balan's debut short film Natkhat has been selected by the Mumbai Film Festival to have its world premiere at the We Are One: A Global Film Festival on June 2.

The film, which also stars Vidya, addresses patriarchy and toxic masculinity while dealing with several issues such as gender inequality, rape culture, and domestic violence.

Vidya said due to the "unimaginable and



mind-numbing Covid-19 crisis", while film festivals across the globe have been cancelled, digital festivals such as We Are One come as a hope for viewers and filmmakers.

"I am really happy and excited to showcase our film on this platform. Natkhat is a very special film because it addresses something that is extremely pertinent in these times while also delivering a strong message," the actor said in a statement.
