YRF flying high on their last blockbuster Dhoom: 3, which has grossed almost $90 million at the Box Office, are out to break new grounds with `TITLI`.

Having produced acclaimed films such as ‘The Lunchbox’, ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ and ‘Shaitan’ amongst others, noted Producer Guneet Monga will aide in the international sales, promotion and festival strategies for `Titli`

A YRF presentation 'Titli', Directed by Kanu Behl is produced by the acclaimed filmmaker Dibakar Banerjee. In development for over two years, the script was selected for the Film Bazaar Screenwriter's Lab in 2012 and subsequently won the Post Production award at the Film Bazaar Work In Progress Lab in 2013.

Monga will be responsible for charting out the International strategies of this film, in effort to ensure that wider audiences are able to consume the new path-breaking Indian cinema. With her production, "Titli is a very strong film and am thrilled to be part of the team assisting in the International approach moving forward. It only strengthens our belief that as a film making nation our stories and films are reaching out to a wider audience and are being accepted. Titli is a real powerful movie from Kanu behl. It took us the last 5 years to be able to create the right platform and interest for the new wave hitting Indian Cinema internationally. With 'Titli', I hope to take if forward."

Producer Dibaker Banerjee said "Kanu Behl's Titli is a film that turns all the tropes of an Indian film on its head. Its take on patriarchy and the family system breaks new ground, making the story both universal and uniquely personal at the same time. The aim is to get it out there, reaching out to a larger world cinema audience, for a view into an India as yet unknown. I am happy that Guneet is on board to assist us in achieving that."

Avtar Panesar, Vice President, International Operations at Yash Raj Films who have produced the film, added saying "At YRF we always back strong content. Titli is a very special film for us, as it's a departure from making big budget event films, which have allowed us to break new ground in non-traditional territories with our mainstream films. We’re positive that Titli will only push that endeavor in to more markets. We are delighted to have Guneet on Titli, exploring a wider audience beyond the diaspora. Guneet's expertise with her films internationally coupled with YRF's distribution networks of over 50 International territories across the globe will ensure that the film breaks further ground."

Currently in the US, to conclude her business meetings, she will also attend the Sundance Film Festival for the screening of her film ‘The Lunchbox’ directed by Ritesh Batra.
