Debutant director Anshuman Jha says, “Bikas Mishra and I dreamt up this risque black comedy thriller. We envisioned it for the big screen.” It’s been shot & designed for the big screen. ‘Lord Curzon Ki Haveli’ is my humble homage to Alfred Hitchcock. Making my directorial debut with this feels just as electric. It is just as thrilling as the day I first stepped into the movies. That was with my acting debut in Love Sex Aur Dhoka.”

Rasika Dugal added, “I am thrilled that Lord Curzon ki Haveli is releasing in the theatres. The film had premiered at Melbourne and, subsequently, travelled to other festivals where it was much appreciated by audiences. I enjoyed the film most when I watched it with an audience at a festival in Chicago. And I am so glad that it’s going to be watched like that. The humour ( and the darkness that follows) is best experienced with other people. I had the opportunity to witness the response of an international audience. Now I am eagerly waiting to see how it’s received here”.

Arjun Mathur said, “As an actor, I’m always excited by stories that surprise me. ‘Lord Curzon Ki Haveli’ is unlike anything I’ve had the opportunity to be part of before. It’s quirky, unpredictable, deliciously dark and funny. I’m thrilled that audiences are going to get to experience this in theatres.”
