\n\t\u201cMy Indian Boyfriend: The Golden Mile,\u201d a British romantic drama set against Leicester\u2019s Diwali celebrations, has landed U.K. and Ireland theatrical distribution through RFT Films, ahead of the film\u2019s principal photography this summer.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe independent production brings together talent and partners from the U.K., Malaysia, Hong Kong and India. Directed by Vijay Chauhan and produced by Hiu Man Chan, the film follows Jasmine (Jolene Tiong), a Malaysian Chinese architecture student in Leicester, and Krishna (Sushant Shekhar), a British-Indian graduate finding his purpose through dance. Their relationship becomes a lens on identity, ambition, belonging and modern multicultural Britain.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe film is positioned to be among the first British independent productions to center Leicester\u2019s multicultural communities and its internationally recognized Diwali celebrations in a commercial feature, aiming to connect audiences across Europe and Asia.<\/p>\n

\n\tRonald Thondickal, managing director of RFT Films, said: \u201cWe are delighted to bring \u2018My Indian Boyfriend: The Golden Mile\u2019 to audiences across the U.K. and Ireland. This is a film with genuine heart and authenticity that reflects modern Britain while speaking to audiences far beyond its borders. We believe it has the potential to open new markets and develop new cinema audiences by bringing together communities that have historically been underserved by mainstream theatrical releases. This is a new exploration expanding from our usual portfolio, and this partnership reflects our commitment to championing diverse stories with commercial potential and international appeal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHiu Man Chan, executive producer and producer, added: \u201cThis partnership represents much more than a distribution agreement. At critical times, like minded partners are crucial to protect the independent filmmaking ecology. There is growing curiosity in films that celebrate Britain\u2019s multicultural identity. The audience is there and they have been waiting. We just need to deliver something that they can identify themselves with on screen, particularly the young generations. My ambition has always been to create films that encourage different communities to experience cinema together, introducing new audiences to independent filmmaking in the U.K., opening fresh opportunities for cross-cultural storytelling and international collaboration.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe U.K.-Ireland deal is part of a broader international push for the film, with discussions ongoing across Europe, Asia and North America as the production lines up global partners ahead of shooting. The shoot will feature locations across Leicester, spotlighting the city\u2019s multicultural heritage.<\/p>\n

\n\tRFT Films was founded in 2014 by Thondickal. The U.K.-based company distributes South Indian and global cinema in more than 60 countries across the U.K., Europe and Asia-Pacific.<\/p>\n
