  • 'Haider' wins award in Rome
Vishal Bhardwaj’s “Haider” - a modern-day adaptation of “Hamlet” - won the People’s Choice Award in the Mondo Genere (world genre) at the ninth edition of Rome Film Festival.
 
Made with Kashmir as its backdrop, the film was honoured at the fest, which concluded Saturday.
 
The crime drama’s stars Shahid Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor are overjoyed.
 
“1st festival 1st win. Too much. Wowzaaaa. People's choice in the main category at the Rome film festival... A first for an Indian film. #haider. Proud and humbled,” Shahid tweeted Sunday.
