Ranbir and Kareena's Desert Adventure!

Ranbir Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan are headed to Saudi Arabia very soon, and it’s not for a movie. The prestigious Red Sea International Film Festival (RSIFF) is set to take place in December 2024, and it has been announced that the sibling duo will grace the In Conversation segment, joining a star-studded lineup of global personalities.

 

The fourth Red Sea International Film Festival will take place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, from December 5–14, 2024. Kareena Kapoor Khan and Ranbir Kapoor will be speaking at the In Conversation. They join American actress Viola Davis and Egyptian actress Mona Zaki, who were the previous speakers.

The list also includes this year's Head of Jury, Spike Lee, and Hollywood actress Eva Longoria. The list of speakers also includes Turkish actors Nurgül YeÅŸilçay and Engin Altan Düzyatan, Egyptian writer and director Mohamed Samy, and filmmaker Michael Mann. At the festival's Souk Talents session, actor Andrew Garfield will speak.

 

Through the festival’s In Conversation With and Souk Talents strands, these personalities will get to share insights about their work and passion with cinema lovers and industry executives. The In Conversation With segment will be held at the new Cultural Square headquarters of the Red Sea Film Foundation in Al Balad for the first time.

 

In a statement, Jomana Al Rashid, Chairwoman of the Red Sea Film Foundation, called the lineup of speakers in 2024 ‘extraordinary.’ She revealed, “These luminaries, whose exceptional careers span both sides of the camera, have profoundly inspired generations of audiences, storytellers, and cinephiles.”

 

The chairwoman stated, “It is an honor to provide a platform at our New Home of Film in Al Balad, where they can delve into their artistic journeys, share insights on their most cherished projects, and reveal the inspirations that have shaped their craft.” She went on to say that they were excited to see what tales this year's festival speakers will share.

Kareena Kapoor Khan most recently starred in the Cop Universe film Singham Again, and Ranbir Kapoor is presently filming his next film, Love & War.
