Suzume’s premiere will give attendees a chance to participate in a Q&A session with Shinkai. It is being organised by PVR Pictures, Japanese Film Festival India, and The Japan Foundation.

Many fans are asking if Shinkai will also visit cities other than Mumbai. While no plans beyond Mumbai have been announced, the Japan Foundation Twitter account asked a fan to “stay tuned for more updates” when asked if the director is coming to Delhi.

Heyy.. stay tuned for more updates!
