Noblemen was first screened at the New York India Film Festival, and hopes the screening at the Kashish Mumbai International Queer Film Festival gives it a stronger push

Noblemen, a thematic representation of William Shakespeare's The Merchant Of Venice, tells the story of bullying in school. But its director Vandana Kataria hopes it is able to make a point about bullying at large -- on social media or even in politics. The film, which made its South Asian premiere at the Kashish Mumbai International Queer Film Festival here on Saturday, features actor Kunal Kapoor. Kataria says the idea for the movie got evolved when her agents told her the Yoodlee Films banner was looking for writers and directors who wanted to adapt world literature in the public domain, into contemporary Indian films.
