On the other hand, 'Vimukt', directed by Jitank Singh Gurjar, is set to premiere under the Centrepiece section of the festival. Speaking on the milestone, Summit Studios founder Madhu Sharma described it as the "realisation of a vision to back fearless, original cinema and the storytellers behind it." "It is our aim to be able to back interesting voices that are Indian at heart and can be showcased on the world stage. Both these films are special for us, especially given that these are our firsts," she added, as per the press release. Calling the premiere of 'Bayaan' and 'Vimukt' at the festival a "magical" moment, Sharma shared that the world seems ready for the voices that the films will proudly bring to the screen.
