Mumbai: As the nation marked the 23rd anniversary of the tragic 2002 Godhra train incident, renowned film producer Ekta Kapoor opened up about her latest project, The Sabarmati Report, and its significance beyond just a film.
Reflecting on the journey of the film, Ekta shared, "Some stories hold more weight than just being a piece of entertainment; they carry a responsibility to shed light on the truth while handling the sensitive subject matter with utmost care."
Actor Vikrant Massey, who played the role of a determined journalist in The Sabarmati Report, echoed Ekta's sentiments and emphasized that the film is not just about one isolated incident. "It delves into the impact the tragedy had on our nation and its people - how it was exploited for personal agendas without considering the lives lost and the families affected. It is our own version of 9/11. Being a part of such a powerful narrative has been an incredibly humbling experience," he shared.
He added, "The fact that the film was watched by the honorable Prime Minister in Parliament and received overwhelming support from the entire nation, reassures me that there is still space for cinema that reflects the society we live in."
Directed by the visionary Dheeraj Sarna, the film also features talented actors Raashii Khanna and Ridhi Dogra, who deliver impactful performances.
The Sabarmati Report is based on the Godhra train burning incident that took place on 27 February 2002 involving the Sabarmati Express train. The film follows the journey of a journalist who investigates the incident and years later, another reporter uncovers a hidden report that unravels a conspiracy involving powerful figures. Their quest for the truth puts them in grave danger.
The film has received praise from prominent leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who shared his appreciation on X, "I joined my fellow NDA MPs in a special screening of The Sabarmati Report. I commend the makers of the film for their efforts."
In other news, Ekta Kapoor recently made a spiritual visit to the Maha Kumbh earlier this month. She shared glimpses of her experience on her Instagram handle, where she can be seen enjoying the sights and sounds of the holy event. The video also features TVF's founder, Arunabh Kumar, who accompanied Ekta on her trip.
