The seven-day festival, which will also host an 'Aarambh' ceremony here at the Sahitya Akademi Hall on Friday, is a kaleidoscope of art, culture and literature hosting participation from over 50 countries.
It will be held across multiple venues in Bhopal, including Rabindranath Tagore University and Rabindra Bhawan.
"With the fourth edition of Vishwarang, we aim to bring more people together, with the ambition to increase and grow cultural awareness and the legacy of the rich heritage of India and celebrate it across the world," Santosh Choubey, director of Vishwarang and Chancellor of Rabindranath Tagore University, Bhopal, said in a press conference here.
Drenched in the diverse colours of literature, culture, and arts, the festival will host an 'Artists' Yatra' for world peace and harmony, followed by a painting exhibition, film screening and engaging panel discussions on tribal and folk culture.
Other renowned artists participating in the event include singers Shilpa Rao, Maithili Thakur, Kaushiki Chakravarty, and actor Biswapati Sarkar.
'Ramayana' by Shri Ram Bhartiya Kala Kendra and play "Bandish" by well‐known director Poorva Naresh are among the key presentations to be staged during the festival along with Rabindra Sangeet by Subhabrata Sen and Vrindgaan by Sur Parag Jabalpur.
The festival will come to a close on November 20.
On the work front, Bhardwaj is busy with his next venture 'Kuttey'. Starring Arjun Kapoor, Tabu and Naseeruddin Shah, the dark comedy will hit the theatres on January 13, 2023. The film is produced by Vishal Bhardwaj who has also co-written the screenplay and composed the music of the movie. The movie is presented by Gulshan Kumar and Bhushan Kumar's T-series, and produced by Luv Ranjan, Vishal Bhardwaj, Ankur Garg and Rekha Bhardwaj.
"Some of the things that I found were really amusing, bizarre and disturbing. There was a kind of black humour that was coming out of this tragedy."
