The well-known Bollywood and TV star Rohit Roy is set to make his international debut with the techno thriller feature 'IRaH' directed by Sam Bhattacharjee.

His character in the movie is a devious, narcissistic CEO of a tech company, who creates an AI-based application - IRaH 5.10, through which a person can effectively achieve immortality by archiving oneself.

Speaking about the originality of the idea, Rohit reveals, "Honestly, the idea of the film itself is the hero. I'd say that's the main hero of the film and it's a very intricately woven script so there's not much I can reveal at this point. Every scene opens a new door into the psyche of the main characters and the novelty of the idea was what in the first place attracted me to the film."

Rohit calls the movie a huge responsibility as it's his first international project, "To play the central character in a film like 'IRaH' means a lot to me. It's a lot of responsibility on my shoulders and to carry a film like this, which is so intricately woven, becomes very difficult to keep track of. Of course, there were improvisations on the set and the credit for that goes to the director. He was very open to all sorts of suggestions, in fact the end which according to me is the most important part of the film."

An Indo-British production, 'IRaH' also stars Karishma Kotak, Ameet Chana, Fagun Thakrar and Rajesh Sharma in key roles. The movie is looking at a tentative release date of September 23.
