Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Indian Institute of Management Indore (IIM Indore) hosted a two-and-a-half-hour performance of Rian Johnson’s ‘Knives Out’, featuring the students of the institute on Friday.

Prof Himanshu Rai, director of IIM Indore, was the executive producer of the play, and Prof Shweta Kushal, was the director of the show which had the cast of 17 actors and actresses from various programmes.

Prof Rai congratulated the entire cast and crew for their outstanding performance, recognising the vital role that events such as this play in shaping students’ personal and professional development. "These occasions provide valuable opportunities for students to hone their teamwork, leadership, communication skills, and appreciation for hard work. My students have done an amazing job, and I am incredibly proud of them," he remarked.
