The screening was graced by Mitu’s friend and guru Imitiaz Ali and Sheshank Ghosh, who showed their support to the debutant director.
When asked about Mitu Misra, Imtiaz says, “Mitu Misra is a old friend of mine and our connection is of Films. He has sent me different kind of films to watch over the period. I hope he does very well in the industry.”
Mitu adds further, “On script of Lies We Tell, Imtiaz has been my teacher from pen to paper. I had written five paragraphs and Imtiaz narrowed to one line that was the trigger for me.”
Lies We Tell is an unflinching British thriller about loyalty, betrayal, and revenge. The film revolves around a trusted driver, who must deal with his dead boss’s Muslim mistress, her dark past pulling him into a life-and-death showdown with her notorious gangster cousin/ex-husband.
