The movie is set for worldwide release on October 16. Screening in Panama will mark opening of a new territory for Indian cinema, Krian said. “One of the key challenges in the international markets is the ability of a distributor to open up new markets, wider audience base and broaden the revenue pie. “It is a matter of pride that we will be releasing Boss in Europe, North America, South East Asia and Australia, amongst other markets. We have also opened up the non-traditional Latin American market of Panama to Indian cinema,” Raj Malik, Vice-President (Film Acquisition & Distribution), Krian said. Directed by Anthony D’Souza, Boss is an action comedy starring Akshay, Aditi Rao Hydari, Shiv Pandit and Mithun Chaktraborty, among others. PTI
