Vikrant Massey, Rasika Dugal, and Adarsh Gourav to represent India at IFFM 2024

As the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne gears up for another edition, it announced India’s top three stars to participate in an engaging panel on creativity in films. The trio of Vikrant Massey, Rasika Dugal, and Adarsh Gourav who are known for their powerful and diverse performances, will engage in thought-provoking conversation about the future of Indian cinema, its global impact, and the role of young actors in shaping its narrative.

Vikrant Massey is fresh off a critically acclaimed film 12th Fail which has garnered praise for him from all quarters. Before 12th Fail, Vikrant featured in films like Chhapaak, Cargo, Lipstick Under My Burkha, and Haseen Dillruba among others.

We last saw Rasika Dugal in the new season of Mirzapur. She has a diverse portfolio of films and web series including Manto, Delhi Crime, Hamid and many others. On sharing the stage with Vikrant and Adarsh, she said, "It's a privilege to be a part of stories which are constantly pushing boundaries, whether in content or in form, while still being true to themselves. I always look forward to being a part of festivals like the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne where we get an opportunity to share our stories with a very diverse and discerning audience. Indian cinema has always been home to diverse storytelling and it is wonderful and important to celebrate that."

Adarsh Gourav rose to international fame with The White Tiger and is known for his roles in Guns & Gulaabs, Rukh, Mom, Extrapolations, and the upcoming Ridley Scott's Alien web series. He said, "Indian cinema has a unique voice, one that is both rooted in tradition and continuously evolving. I am thrilled to be part of a conversation that explores its global reach and the innovative ways in which it is being crafted. The Indian Film Festival of Melbourne is a celebration of this spirit, and I look forward to engaging with audiences and fellow filmmakers on this exciting journey."

The talented trio will participate in a live discussion panel at IFFM 2024, focusing on the dynamic landscape of Indian cinema and their personal journeys in the industry.

The upcoming session will offer a unique perspective on how young actors are contributing to the global dialogue on film and storytelling.

The Indian Film Festival of Melbourne 2024 will take place from August 15 to August 25.
