Manoj Bajpayee-starrer The Fable, directed by Raam Reddy, is all set to premiere in one of the key competitive sections of the Berlinale.
This is only the second Indian film in the previous 30 years to premiere in one of Berlinale's important competitive sections.

Working with a creative mind like Raam Reddy and participating in an A-festival backed by an international production house for the first time has been incredibly inspiring. Our film's presence at Berlinale signifies the global reach and artistic caliber of Indian storytelling."
The film is backed by veteran producer Sunmim Park.
