Mumbai, Oct 8 (IANS) After creating waves in Toronto, "Mard Ko Dard Nahin Hota" will get its Asia premiere at the Jio MAMI 20th Mumbai Film Festival with Star later this month.

Presented by RSVP, "Mard Ko Dard Nahin Hota" is written and directed by Vasan Bala and produced by Ronnie Screwvala.

The award-winning film will kick-off the festival this year.

"It's like a homecoming for me. To not just be attending the Jio MAMI 20th Mumbai Film Festival with Star, but opening it with a dream nurtured over years and brought to existence by Ronnie Screwvala's fearless and absolute backing," Bala said in a statement to IANS.

"I am honoured and thrilled to be walking into the cinema hall with the team of 'Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota' and sharing the film for the first time on my home ground," he added.

The action-comedy film marks the debut of actress Bhagyashree's son Abhimanyu Dassani.

We at RSVP are very proud of all the accolades this genre defining film is garnering," Screwvala said.

"An Indian filmmaker with a singularly distinct voice will screen his work for the first time in Asia at Jio MAMI with Star. We couldn't have asked for a better start to this year's edition."

The 20th edition of the Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival with Star will take place between October 25 and November 1.
