Festival Director Sunit Tandon said: “It is a first of its kind section at any film festival in the country, perhaps worldwide. The idea behind this was to be able to celebrate this highly popular franchise, tracing it through the years.

“Films featuring all the actors who have played this iconic character have been showcased in this section. We are thankful to the producers and studios behind the franchise to help us make this possible and present this package as a whole.”

Former tennis champion Vijay Amritraj and actor Kabir Bedi, both of whom starred in Octopussy, will attend the special screening.
