Following screenings at Osian's Cinefan Festival of Asian and Arab Cinema, the Montreal World Film Festival and South Asian Film Festival in Paris, the project will screen this week at the London Indian Film Festival.
Kamal told Digital Spy: "I feel proud to say that not only has our film been selected for various prestigious festivals but it also picked up awards and got critical acclaim.
"We don't have a big star cast. For a small budget, non-commercial film made on an unconventional theme in mainstream Indian cinema, it helps to earn as much credibility as possible."
Also starring Chak De India actress Shilpa Shukla, the movie's theatrical release in India has been postponed in order to get wider distribution.
"The idea was to get as many shows as possible," revealed Kamal. "It seemed like a good move to postpone the release since we would be hard-pressed to fit in enough shows with a three-hour film like Bhaag Milkha Bhaag running at the same time.
"Add to that, there were many other films releasing on the same date."
Ashanti Omkar, Indian cinema editor for Cineworld cinemas, explained why the production was selected for screening: "The London Indian Film Festival has always looked at the cutting edge of films out of the subcontinent, with at least one very audacious choice in the lineup.
"This cougar tale by Ajay Bhal is one that is pre-selling really well already at the fourth LIFF festival, which is now the largest for Indian independent cinema in Europe. This is a rare chance to see such a film on the silver screen, which gives it quite an appeal for a summer festival."
The London Indian Film Festival runs from July 18 to July 25.
B.A. Pass releases in India on August 2.
