The director of the film, Vidhu Vinod Chopra is set to grace the festival and will be attending the screening of '12th Fail' on January 11 in Macao.

On working on the film, Vikrant had told ANI, "The movie is very typical Vidhu Vinod Chopra movie which is based on hard reality and is a very hard-hitting film. The role was very challenging. I had to lose weight and darken my skin."

Meanwhile, Vikrant will be seen in the second installment of Haseen Dillruba, titled Phir Aayi Haseen Dilruba.
