Mumbai: ”The Father,” starring Oscar winners – veteran actor Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman – will release in the theatres in India on April 23.

The film, directed and co-written by Florian Zeller, is nominated in six categories at the upcoming 93rd Academy Awards.

Adapted from Zeller’s critically acclaimed play ”Le Pere” (”The Father”), the movie takes a raw and unflinching look at dementia, examining how the lines between reality and delusion blur as the disease takes over.

It revolves around an ageing man (Hopkins) who battles his own diminishing mind. When his caring daughter (Colman) is forced to choose between the ailing parent and moving to Paris with her newfound love, the duo’s bond is put to the ultimate test.

The film also features actors Mark Gatiss and Imogen Poots.

PVR Pictures is releasing ”The Father” in India.
