Lord Curzon Ki Haveli, featuring Arjun Mathur and Rasika Dugal, is set to take centre stage as the Closing Night Film at the Chicago South Asian International Film Festival (CSAFF) 2023. This announcement comes hot on the heels of the film’s warm reception in Australia last month, where it received a standing ovation. Additionally, Lord Curzon Ki Haveli has been chosen as the Opening Film for the International South Asian Film Festival (ISAFF) in Vancouver, marking its North American debut.
Directed by Anshuman Jha, this directorial debut boasts a star-studded cast that includes Arjun Mathur, Rasika Dugal, Zoha Rahman, Paresh Pahuja, and Garrick Hagon. The film’s Australian success paves the way for its eagerly awaited North American premiere in Chicago. Arjun Mathur, Rasika Dugal, and Anshuman Jha are scheduled to be in attendance at the Chicago South Asian International Film Festival to present the film on September 24.

Arjun Mathur, who plays a pivotal role in the film, expressed his excitement about Lord Curzon Ki Haveli and its genre-blending nature. He stated, “I was immediately drawn to Lord Curzon Ki Haveli when I read the script, primarily because I could not slot it within any single fixed genre and secondly because in spite of that, my director Anshuman had an extremely clear vision for it. And I’m happy to say that the film has not at all strayed from that vision and what has emerged is an exciting chamber-film which I now like to call a ‘psychological black-comedy thriller’. These are genres that I find to be rarely explored in Indian Cinema.”
He further elaborated on his character in the film, Rohit, saying, “The character I portray in this film – Rohit – is really some of the most fun I’ve ever had with a character. Not only is LCKH the fastest feature film that I have ever filmed but it is also a rare film to have been shot completely on a single 35 mm lens. We had our world-premiere at IFFM 2023, to a fantastic audience response that exceeded any of our expectations, and it’s made me doubly excited for the North American premiere as the closing film at CSAFF ‘23 and the Canadian premiere as the opening-film at ISAFF ‘23 in Vancouver. I can’t wait for audiences all over the world to watch this film. It is truly a unique piece of work.”
Arjun Mathur was recently seen in Made In Heaven Season 2 which was produced by Excel Media and Entertainment and Tiger Baby Films, created and directed by Reema Kagti and Zoya Akhtar along with Nitya Mehra, Alankrita Shrivastava, and Neeraj Ghaywan.
