“Lovesongs will open the festival with a red carpet premiere at Apollo Cinema in the heart of Piccadilly. I am keen to meet Mira Nair, who is coming for my premiere, along with Gurinder Chadha and Meera Sayal!” said Jayabrato, who will attend the festival along with daughter Shahana who stars in the film as Jaya’s daughter.
