The Wrong Bashir

The Toronto premiere of THE WRONG BASHIR written by Zahida Rahemtulla and directed by Paolo Santalucia. Bashir Ladha, a young philosophy major leaning towards nihilism, moves back home with his parents and is unwittingly chosen to serve in a prestigious religious position by leaders from the Ismaili community. When two council representatives arrive to meet their esteemed nominee, a hilarious mistaken-identity romp ensues that sees the intergenerational family questioning their traditional way of life.
