18th Kolkata International Film Festival

18th Kolkata International Film Festival will be inaugurated by
Amitabh Bachchan tomorrow at 4 p.m. at Netaji Indoor Stadium. It is
the second oldest and only international non-competitive film festival
of the country.

This year, the fest would be more gorgeous, more star-studded as the
Brand Ambassador of West Bengal Shah Rukh Khan will assist BigB
inaugurating the festival. Moreover, the leading ladys of the movie
Jab Tak Hain Jaan Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma would also be there
at inauguration. And Mithun Chakaborty will be there.

The whole Tollygunge film industry would be there at Indoor Stadium,
so no shooting schedule will be there tomorrow in Kolkata.

BigB will go on the stage through the tunnel on which he danced 20
years ago for the film Yarana.

Not only that, under the title 'Big Story', a panorama of BigB's
memorable films like Saat Hindustani, Abhiman, Main Azad Hoon,
Saudagar, Deewar, Black and Cheeni Kum will be exhibited at 7 p.m. at
Sisir Mancha daily.

This year's theme is Africa and the inaugural movie would be the
Academy award winner 'A Separation' of Iran.
