| BREAKAWAY |
The headline in the newspaper ran, 'Nothing says Canada like a hockey film: TIFF unveils homegrown line-up' and apart from a host of popular Indian, American and Canadian actors, the attractiveness of the movie lies in the fact that it is a movie based on Canada's favorite sport - ice hockey. Comedian Russell Peters, who also stars in the movie BREAKAWAY, is quoted as saying in a video posted on Video Portal, 'When I first started doing stand-up, I used to do a joke about an all Sikh ice hockey team called the Toronto Maple Sikhs. Who would have thought 20 years later I'm in a film about an all-Sikh ice hockey team?'
The Toronto International Film Festival shall ensure maximum exposure for BREAKAWAY as around 250,000 avid movie-goers are expected to attend this festival and the strong Canadian connects of the movie is sure to attract an even larger number of people to the movie hall.
