Kashyap to release Paradesi in north India

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, who recently lauded Tamil period-drama Paradesi, about affliction of tea plantation workers in southern India wants to promote the film in the north India after watching it at a private screening. Set in pre-Independent India, Paradesi, based on Paul Harris Daniel’s English novel Red Tea, has been directed by Bala Pazhanisaamy. It was originally scheduled to release last December.

Now, it is coming out Friday. ‘Anurag Kashyap wants to release the film with subtitles in central and north India,’ said a statement.
