'Jolly LLB', 'Murder 3' head to Shanghai film fest

Indian films "Jolly LLB" and "Murder 3" have been invited to feature at the forthcoming 16th Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF), which will be held June 15-23.

Director Vishesh Bhatt's "Murder 3", co-produced by Fox Star Studios and Vishesh Films, is an erotic thriller, while "Jolly LLB", a Fox Star Studios production, is an entertaining courtroom comedy.

The movies will feature at the festival under International Panorama section's spectrum division.

It is an honour to be invited at the Shanghai film fest especially in the 100th year of Indian cinema, says Vijay Singh, CEO, Fox Star Studios.

"We are mighty pleased to get an invitation from the Shanghai International Film Festival. 'Jolly LLB' and 'Murder 3' are films that we are proud of and they are also representative of our commitment towards creating diverse and high content cinema- which while being massy and entertaining also pushes the envelope," Singh said in a statement.

"It's an honour that in the 100th year of Indian cinema, we have got a chance to showcase different strands of our cinema at a global platform," he added.
