21 Nov 2014

After making its mark at the box office, Happy New Year (HNY) now heads to Morocco for the 14th Marrakech International Film Festival. HNY has been officially invited in the out-of-competition at the upcoming festival for its official presentation on the Jemaa El Fna Square. The film fest will be held from 5th to 13th December 2014. Director Farah Khan and actors Abhishek Bachchan and Boman Irani will be attending the same to represent team HNY.

Grossing more than Rs. 200 cr net in India itself, HNY is the biggest grosser of 2014 in India. The film will be screened on the Jemaa El Fna Square on December 6, the day of the Official Royal Dinner hosted by the President of the Festival Foundation, His Royal Highness Prince Moulay Rachid. Farah Khan and cast of the film are invited to attend the Official Red Carpet of the evening.

Venky Mysore, CEO of Red Chillies said, "It's an honor that HNY is being featured in the Marrakech International Film Festival. We appreciate all the accolades that it has received from various quarters and now the recognition from Marrakech Film Festival." Director Farah Khan said, "I'm delighted that HNY is being showcased in Marrakech. Marrakech has become a festival of repute and it's an honor to take our film there." HNY starring Deepika Padukone, Shah Rukh Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Sonu Sood, Boman Irani and Vivaan Shah is the ultimate underdog story where a team of losers pull off a big diamond heist.
