Furthermore, Faraz too shared their excitement for the upcoming trip and said, “I am supremely excited that Divya Dutta and I get to travel to the US and be a part of DFWSAFF & NYCSAFF in Dallas and New York City with our film Sheer Qorma. We are grateful to the US Consulate for granting us the NIE to promote queer cinema, inclusion and open a larger dialogue on queer rights in the United States. This would be the first time that we would be attending a film festival in person and watching the film with a live audience in a big screen theatre… just like good old times! Later, I will also be traveling to San Francisco to screen the film in collaboration with Frameline and Parivar Bay Area. Also, I had to add that I am very excited to wear fabulous clothes on the red carpet by some of the leading Indian designers, Siddartha Tytler, Mehraab & Dania Siddiqui. Here’s hoping we win many awards!”
