Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap's "Raman Raghav 2.0", a film based on notorious serial killer Raman Raghav, who went on murder spree in Mumbai in the 1960s, will premiere at the upcoming 69th Cannes International Film Festival.

Kashyap took to Twitter on Tuesday to announce the news.

"'Raman Raghav 2.0' to premiere at Cannes Directors Fortnight. Congratulations team," he tweeted.

The film stars actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the title role alongside "Masaan" fame actor Vicky Kaushal.
