The festival's lineup spans features, documentaries, and shorts, with a focus on stories that reflect the experiences of South Asian communities in Britain. Organisers said the 2026 edition aims to celebrate both established and emerging talent from the diaspora, with screenings and panel discussions across multiple venues in London.
The Aamir Khan event will see the actor discuss his career and the legacy of Lagaan, the 2001 sports drama that became a global phenomenon. The Goodness Gracious Me reunion will bring together the original cast to reflect on the show's impact on British comedy and its portrayal of South Asian life.
Further details on the full programme, including film titles, ticket information, and additional guest appearances, are expected to be announced in the coming months. The festival has become a key platform for South Asian cinema in the UK since its launch, drawing audiences from across the diaspora and beyond.
