Renowned Bollywood actor, writer, and director Saurabh Shukla, best known for his role in the Oscar-winning film ‘Slumdog Millionaire’, brings to the stage an enthralling theatrical experience with “Ashvin Gidwani’s Barff (ICE),” a captivating Hindi thriller from India that will take audiences in the USA on a thought-provoking journey through the conflicting realms of truth, reality, and belief.
“AGP World,” in collaboration with “Be United,” presents this gripping production, which promises to showcase Shukla’s remarkable talent and storytelling prowess. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Kashmir Valley during the winter season, “Ashvin Gidwani’s Barff (ICE)” unfolds over the course of a single night.
The 110-minute play revolves around three individuals whose lives become entangled amidst a web of unsettling questions.
