Misbehaviour, starring Keira Knightley, is all set to hit the Indian screens on January 22. Directed by Philippa Lowthorpe, the movie tells the true story of feminists who disrupted the published of the 1970’s Miss World contest. 

The movie reportedly stresses on the significance of gender equality, with a mix of humour and drama. It celebrates inclusivity, feminism and great thing about every kind. 

“I think what surprised me was I knew absolutely nothing about this story whatsoever, so I first read the script, and I was just like, ‘Wow, this is so out there’,” Knightley instructed Digital Spy. 

“It’s so interesting that it’s a film that very much deals with the conversation of feminism and the intersection with racism, and I feel that that’s still a conversation that we’re very much grappling with right now. So this is a story set in 1970 and 50 years on, we’re still having the same conversation. It felt very current,” she added. 

Other than Knightley, the movie additionally stars Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Jessie Buckley, Keeley Hawes, Phyllis Logan, Lesley Manville, Rhys Ifans and Greg Kinnear.
