Rahul Rawail replaces Sujoy Ghosh at IFFI

20 Nov 2017

In a swift a move, filmmaker Rahul Rawail has replaced Sujoy Ghosh as the chief of the jury for the Indian Panorama at the International Film Festival Of India (IFFI) which kick started in Goa on Monday. Confirming this development Rawail, Thats right, Ive taken on this job at the IFFIs request after someone else (Sujoy Ghosh) chose to relinquish the responsibility. In fact I am in Goa now. I am the acting jury head. And Im honoured to be doing the job. Because this is a platform where the world looks at us and the best films must be selected. To rewind a bit, Sujoy Ghosh has resigned from the job of heading the jury for the Indian panorama at IFFI after two films Sanal Sasidharans S Durga and Ravi Jadhavs Nude were ousted from the panorama. Rawail had stoutly defended the two films ouster when other jury members including Sujoy Ghosh, Apurva Asrani preferred to resign from the IFFI.
