Anshuman Jha, Soni Razdan and Raghubir Yadav's father-son saga 'Hari Ka Om' has been making waves at Film Festivals for the past 9 months will have another feather in its cap - it will have its European Premiere at the UK-Asian Film Festival 2025 as the gala screening on May 7th in London at the historic Regent Street Cinema. After PREMIERES in Australia, North America, Canada, India - the film will now touchdown Europe before its World Wide release in July this year. Directed by Harish Vyas (Angrezi Mein Kehte Hain, Hum Bhi Akele-Tum Bhi Akele) & starring Soni Razdan, Ayesha Kapur in addition to Jha and Yadav, the film marks a Hattrick of the director & actor coming together. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'HARI KA OM is the father-son film we need today, small town India set, deals with isues which occur in nearly every home. It dwells on the fact that without emotional regulation - mistakes can be made by the young & the old. It's a quintessential generational divide film and I look forward to being in the UK for the screening & the Q/A.' Says Anshuman. Jha's last two releases have garnered him acclaim with his portrayal of a homosexual man in Vyas's last film 'Hum Bhi Akele'(2021) followed by the animal lover vigilante avatar in the action film 'Lakadbaggha'(2023) - this is another extreme turn for the actor as a middle class boy from Bhopal in 'Hari Ka Om'. Says Vyas 'Anshuman is a very simple person but also has a razor sharp film brain. In addition to being a fabulous actor of this generation, he understands all aspects of cinema like very few people I have met. Their chemistry(Raghubir Yadav & Anshuman) is a delight in this film. We are thrilled to be premiereing in the UK at such a prestigious platform.' Anshuman's Directorial debut 'Lord Curzon Ki Haveli' is also scheduled for a release later this year.
