Journalist-turned-filmmaker Ram Kamal Mukherjee is all set to give a cinematic tribute to late filmmaker Rituparno Ghosh in a new feature film called 'A Tribute to Rituparno Ghosh: Season's Greetings'. The film will have the United Nations backing it making it the first Indian film to get such support.&nbsp; 
 
The UN has shown interest in the film as it talks about the LGBTQIA community.&nbsp;Under their campaign 'Free &amp; Equal', the UN has announced its decision to collaborate with the film which features Lilette Dubey and Celina Jaitley- who makes a comeback to Bollywood after a long hiatus.&nbsp;

Director Ram Kamal Mukherjee expressed, "This was unexpected and yet a pleasant surprise. I was overwhelmed with the UN's detailed feedback on the film. I am sure Ritu da would have been the happiest today." 
 
"Films like this can play a critical role in starting and sustaining those conversations. We look forward to help raise awareness of some of the issues the film touches upon -- from acceptance of same-sex relationships to the lives of LGBTQIA people in India," said Rikke Hennum, United Nations Free &amp; Equal Campaign Manager. 
 
"I am extremely proud of the fact that the United Nations has agreed to be the (film`s) Social Cause partner under their `Free &amp; Equal` campaign. The film`s release comes at a historic moment for India`s lesbian, gay, bi and trans population, following the decision of the country`s Supreme Court to strike down a colonial-era ban on consensual same-sex relationships and previous court judgements affirming the rights of transgender people," said Celina. 
 
The film deals with a mother and daughter relationship that ends with an unexpected twist in the tale.
