Speaking to the media here, producer Dr. Junmoni Devi Khound stated that, “Although rape makes headlines for the media, nobody understands the trauma the victim experiences on a physical and mental level. Although rape is not less serious than murder because the victim of rape continues to die every moment even after being saved, murder is still regarded as the largest and most horrible crime in the nation. I created the idea and narrative because I am an advocate as well. Assam is where I’m from, and similar things happen there as well as around the nation. The victim is entitled to a dignified existence. Initially, I intended to create this narrative in Assamese, but after talking with director Pranab, we decided that Hindi would be a better choice because it is the national language of India, the majority of Indians speak and understand Hindi, and this is a national issue. Artists were chosen based on the plot and persona. Every artist has put their all into their work. After receiving positive reviews at the Cannes Film Festival’s Film Market (Marché du Film), we will be releasing this movie in theatres on June 28.”
