MUMBAI: Illuminati Films’ Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor-starrer Agent Vinod will premiere at the seventh edition of the Muscat International Film Festival (MIFF) on 25 March.

The film is about a series of seemingly unconnected events across the world that leads to Agent Vinod undertaking a globe-trotting mission to discover why his colleague was murdered.

"A bit of Tintin, a bit of Bond, a bit of Alistair McLean and well, a little bit of fun and frolic and a lot of adventure...that is what Agent Vinod, the much awaited Bollywood flick is all about," said producer Saif Ali Khan describing the film in a statement.

Shot in Morocco, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Latvia, besides other countries, the film has been directed by Sriram Raghavan.

Averred MIFF Chairman Dr Khalid Al Zadjali, "This movie‘s entry is ground-breaking as far as the nascent cinema industry in Oman is concerned." He added that it would be great to have movie stars like Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor visiting Muscat for the MIFF.

Originally set to release in December 2011, Agent Vinod was postponed following a delay in its shooting schedule and will now release on 23 March.
