Punjabi family comedy ‘Breakaway’ to premiere at Toronto

Akshay Kumar co-production “Breakaway”, a hilarious Punjabi family comedy on the lines of “Bend It Like Beckham”, will have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), it was announced here Tuesday.

A cross-cultural hockey comedy-drama set in the Indo-Canadian community in the Toronto suburb of Brampton, “Breakaway” features Anupam Kher, Vinay Virmani, Russell Peters, Camilla Belle, and Rob Lowe.

Toronto young man Vinay Virmani, who wrote the script, plays the lead role in the film directed by Canadian Robert Lieberman.

The film revolves around a Punjabi immigrant family which goes through turmoil in trying to come to terms with social mores of Canadian society.

A cross-cultural emotional family comedy, it is set in the background of ice-hockey which is Canada’s national sport.

Rajveer Singh, played by Vinay Virmani, dreams of becoming a pro hockey player but he is caught between expectations of his traditional Indo-Canadian family ruled by his religiously devout father (Anupam Kher) and his own ambition.

As the film producers said, it is “both a fun-filled sports comedy bringing a dash of Bollywood to Canada’s favourite sport and the heartfelt journey of young immigrant man’s quest to find himself in his new country.”

According to said Frank Siracusa of Whizbang Films which has produced the film, “We are absolutely thrilled that Breakaway will have its world premiere at TIFF.

“We know this film will resonate with festival audiences, with its diverse Canadian, American and South Asian cast, its Toronto backdrop and its irresistible cross-cultural clash within a family and a son’s passion for the game of hockey.”

Breakaway is the first India-themed film to join the list of over 300 films coming from around the world to TIFF..
