The film, written by John C. Walsh, also stars Barbara Sukowa, Christopher Briney, Alexander Beyer, Avital Lvova, Rupert Graves, Andreja Pejić, Suki Waterhouse, and Mark McKenna.

Born Krishna Pandit Bhanji, Kingsley was born to an English mother and an Indian father. He began his acting career in theatre by&nbsp;performing Shakespeare's plays. 'Gandhi' was only the second feature film of his career and it catapulted him to global fame. His performance in the role of one of the most towering figures in the 20th century won him universal acclaim, an Oscar, a Bafta, a Golden Globe, and more.

Kingsley is also known for his performance in movies like 'Twelfth Night', 'Sexy Beas', 'House of Sand and Fog', 'Thunderbirds', 'Lucky Number Slevin', 'Shutter Island', 'Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time', 'Hugo', 'The Dictator', and 'Ender's Game'. Among the younger generations, he is perhaps best known for playing the role of out-of-work actor Trevor Slattery in the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies.

Christian Jungen, ZFF Artistic Directo said in a statement (quoted by The Hollywood Reporter), “Sir Ben Kingsley is an outstanding and highly versatile character actor who is not only completely absorbed in his roles, but is also able to imbue his characters with a rare human depth. With his nuanced acting, Kingsley has the ability to present the inner life of his characters to the outside world and to embody complex, fractured characters in a convincing and haunting way. A number of Kingsley’s films, including Gandhi and Schindler’s List, are among the most significant milestones in film history, making him, in turn, one of the most famous actors in the world.”

Ben Kingsley to be honoured with lifetime achievement award at Zurich Film Festival

Hollywood actress Sharon Stone will be honoured at the 17th Zurich Festival’s with a 'Golden Icon' Award, the highest accolade. 
 
On September 25, Stone will be in Zurich to accept the award in person. The award ceremony will be followed by a screening of Martin Scorsese’s thriller 'Casino', for which Sharon won an Oscar nomination.

“Sharon Stone is a true icon of the seventh art,” said Christian Jungen, artistic director of the Zurich Film Festival.

“She is a woman that Hitchcock would have loved. Her distinguishing qualities include an irresistible charm, a great human depth, the talent to play a whole range of roles and the ability to captivate an audience like no other. At a time when the film business was dominated by men, she stood her ground to fight against sexism and in doing so became a major role model for many women in the film business," as per THR.&nbsp;

Responding to the honour, Stone said, "It is an honor to engage with the global community and celebrate the profound depth of our art."

 
“I am thrilled to be recognized in this capacity.” She added.&nbsp;

The Zurich festival lauded her career, saying, “Now a mother of three, Stone made movie history some 30 years ago with her breakthrough role as the femme fatale in Basic Instinct (1992). In the years that followed, however, Stone refused to be typecast as a man-eating vamp. In fact, the actress, whose memoirs recently addressed the ills of Hollywood in the New York Times bestseller The Beauty of Living Twice, has proven herself to be an exceedingly versatile character actress.” 
 
Previous recipients of the award include Juliette Binoche, Cate Blanchett, Glenn Close, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Michael Douglas, Richard Gere and Sean Penn.
