New Delhi [India], August 23: The victory echoes through the corridors of global cinema, cementing the film's status as a masterpiece fueled by a profound narrative that lingers in the soul. Radiating on the red carpet alongside international icons, Shihan Shoukath made his mark as the creative force behind 'Deadline', a film that pushes the boundaries of storytelling.

"The Cannes World Film Festival is an unparalleled platform that brings together the finest talent from around the world.

An avalanche of accolades follows, with "Deadline" securing victories at major festivals such as the Dadasaheb Phalke Film Festival, Jaipur Film Festival, Leeds International Film Festival, and over 30 more esteemed events.

Enter Ishan Shoukath, the enigmatic sibling and debut lead actor, whose brilliance on screen adds yet another layer to this fascinating tale.
