After the recent spate of horrific crimes committed against women, Indian filmmakers have decided to voice out their opinion against the wrong doings. Leading the charge is producer Siddhartha M Jain, who has teamed up with writer-director Sanjay Chhel to make Kill The Rapist? a film that will deal with this sensitive issue.
“With great power, comes greater responsibility. Cinema is a very powerful tool. While we celebrate 100 years of Indian cinema, I thought nothing better than using cinema as a tool to not only bring awareness, but put pressure on law enforcers and the public to take strong steps,” Siddhartha stated. When quizzed on the content, he said, “Kill The Rapist is a very sensitive, inspiring and motivating film for women. It is not based on the Delhi incident and is neither sensational nor scandalous. It’s a fictional 90 minute engaging thriller-drama with three girls and one man.”
When we contacted Chhel, he stated, “We are attacking a burning issue that’s emotionally tearing our nation, in a very sensitive and emotional, yet powerful way. I am using three girls to represent three different points of view in our society. We start shoot soon and it’s a quick film. We are flooded with calls from celebrities wanting to endorse the cause and help market this film. Though I am known for my comedy writing in Rangeela, Yes Boss, Partner and Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji but Kill The Rapist, is a culmination of my almost 3 decades of film writing and study of life and characters. This film will spray venom for 90 minutes on the manhood of inhuman criminals.”
Jain is the owner of the production house iRock, which is producing the film. He had even co-produced Ekta Kapoor’s 2011 horror venture Ragini MMS. His other upcoming venture includes Disco Valley.
