The film, which stars actress Huma Qureshi, “Downton Abbey” star Hugh Bonneville, Gillian Anderson, and late actor Om Puri, among others, will have its premiere in Febuary.
“Viceroy’s House” is an official selection at Berlinale 2017. Huma will join Chaddha and rest of the cast in Berlin, immediately after wrapping up promotions of her upcoming film “Jolly LLB 2”, read a statement.
