Among the Indian films that will be screened at the festival, we hear, four films including three Bollywood films have been chosen. These films will be screened in the World Fantastic Blue Section. As per industry expert, Ramesh Bala, the films that will be shown at the South Korean festival include, Kangana Ranaut's Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt starrer Gully Boy and Ayushmann Khurrana's Andhadhun.

Take a look at Ramesh Bala's tweet here:

While Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt starrer Gully Boy took Bollywood fans by a storm this February with the story of a rapper from the streets of Mumbai, last year's sleek crime thriller, Andhadhun which won a lot of praises for Ayushmann Khurrana has been a top choice for the film festival. Among South films, Vijay Sethupati's and Samantha Akkineni's much acclaimed Super Deluxe has also been chosen for the film festival.

It is indeed a great honour that these films will be screened at the South Korean film festival. Jury members for Bucheon Choice include Japanese director Kaneko Shusuke, journalist Jonathan Barkan, Korean actress Uhm Junghwa and Korean director E.oni (aka Lee Eon-hee).
