/> Nandana Sen was spotted in deep conversation with her dad Nobel laureate Amartya Sen and and the economist - parliamentarian Lord Meghad Desai at the just-concluded London Film Festival.

Says Nandana, " Both my Dad and Lord Meghnad loved Rang Rasiya. Lord Meghnad has become a big champion of our film. He praised my performance to the skies and noticed so many nuances."

Nandana's distinguished father flew down all the way from China where he was attending a conference to be by his daughter's side on this occasion.

"Baba just loved it. He said he was glad he made it to London in time for the London screening. Frankly I didn't have time for anyone else, " she says brushing off queries on her cold vibes with Hooda.

The London Film Festival which concluded late last week threw forward some huge surprises.

Says the Rang Rasiya leading man Randeep Hooda, "Rang Rasiya was superbly received at the London Festival. The audience was enthralled by the colours and emotions of the theme.

It was screened alongside Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire. Both the films were much talked-about. It was interesting because Rang Rasiya was funded from India while Slumdog Millionaire was funded from abroad."

Unfortunately Rang Rasiya couldn't go to the competitive festivals.

"That's because it was made simultaneously in three versions... Hindi, English and Hinglish (in Hindi and English). And all three versions couldn't be readied in time. We've screened the film at Cannes and Venice. But like I said, not in the competitive sections."

On Sunday the pair was in Sri Lanka for a fund-raising event for the forthcoming Sri Lanka Film Festival. Barely a few words were exchanged between the pair throughout the evening.

Jokes Randeep, "People are fighting all over the world. So I guess we're just being in character. But seriously, Sri Lanka is such a beautiful place. This is my first visit. I wish they'd stop all the separatist strife would end."

Filmmaker Paul Schrader was also in Sri Lanka on Saturday for the fund-raising event. He's expected to be in India next week to meet Amitabh Bachchan
