Australia
would
be
the
last
country
for
any
filmmaker
to
release
Hindi
film
at
the
moment
owing
to
the
series
of
attacks
on
Indians
there.
However,
Rajkumar
Hirani
is
releasing
his
blockbuster
3
Idiots
there
with
an
aim
to
bridge
the
gap
between
the
two
countries.
Hirani,
who
is
currently
in
Australia
along
with
Rani
Mukherjee
to
promote
Indian
film
festival,
is
screening
3
Idiots
starring
Aamir
Khan,
Madhavan,
Sharman
Joshi
and
Kareena
Kapoor
in
the
country
starting
today
(March
11).
The
director
said
that
the
incidents
of
the
attacks
on
Indians
are
sad
but
that
doesn"t
mean
that
all
Aussies
are
against
Indians.
Rani
also
said
that
they
are
in
the
country
for
Australians
and
for
the
Indians
and
the
Asian
communities
who
love
Indian
films.
She
added
that
they
are
there
for
a
greater
cause,
as
only
few
believe
in
hatred.
Director
of
the
Film
Festival
Mitu
Lange
is
looking
forward
to
bring
about
cultural
bridge
between
the
Australian
and
Indian
communities
through
the
film
festival.
He
added
that
the
two
free
film
screenings
at
Melbourne's
Federation
Square
on
Thursday
and
Saturday
would
draw
in
huge
international
students.
The
organisers
of
the
film
festival
are
hoping
to
draw
a
large
number
of
Indian
students
and
international
students
to
watch
Indian
films
which
will
be
screened
in
cities
like
Sydney,
Perth
and
Auckland
in
New
Zealand.
