MUMBAI: Even before its worldwide release on 11 December, Yash Raj Films‘ Rocket Singh- Salesman of the Year has bagged an important laurel. The film has been invited to the 6th edition of the Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) that takes place in Dubai from 9 to 16 December.

The film will be part of the Gala Celebration of Indian Cinema section of the Out of Competition DIFF programme. In a way this would mean that the film would have its world premiere at the festival.

The film is likely to be screened on 10 December in Madinat Arena Cinema.
Lead player Ranbir Kapoor, director Shimit Amin and Jaideep Sahni have been invited to be part of the festival this year.

Now in its sixth year, DIFF 2009 is held in association with Dubai Studio City and supported by Dubai Culture and Arts Authority. Since its first edition in 2004, DIFF has established itself as an important cultural event in Dubai and the UAE.
