Stone acquires the film 'Tiger', directed by Anshul Chauhan, prior to its premiere at Busan
In the heart of Tokyo, Japan, a compelling story unfolds in the upcoming film "Tiger." Directed by Anshul Chauhan, a Tokyo-based Indian filmmaker, the film centers around Taiga Katagiri, a 35-year-old gay masseuse, providing a raw, intimate look at Japan's aging queer population.
Taiga Katagiri's journey is portrayed by the talented actor Takashi Kawaguchi, who has previously worked with Chauhan in the courtroom drama "December" and acclaimed 2018 drama "Bad Poetry Tokyo." The film also features Maho Nonami, known for her roles in "Godzilla Minus One" and "Muromachi Outsiders."
The filming of "Tiger" took place in September 2024, and it is set to premiere at the prestigious Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) in 2025. Japan's Free Stone Productions is handling international sales for the film.
"Tiger" marks Chauhan's fourth film as a director, but his other works are not specified in the available sources. However, Chauhan's background as an animator in Tokyo since 2011 and his dedication to the "Tiger" project underscore his commitment to storytelling.
The premiere of "Tiger" will take place in BIFF's competitive Vision - Asia section, showcasing the film's potential to make a significant impact in the global film industry. With its thought-provoking plot and talented cast, "Tiger" promises to be a must-watch for film enthusiasts.
