Meghna Gulzar's film approved by Aarushi Talwar's parents

16 Jan 2015

Meghna Gulzar's very hush-hush project Nyoda on the sensational Aarushi Talwar murder case which significantly enough was earlier entitled Talwar, is apparently a project that has been approved by the assassinated girl's parents Dr Nupur and Dr Rajesh Talwar who are now in prison.

An insider reveals, "It is a very sensitive subject. Moving away from the sensationalistic suggestions and allegations that Aarushi was murdered by her own parents, the film actually builds a defense case for the parents. Yes, the murder and the consequent investigation are narrated entirely from the parents' point of view in Meghna Gulzar's film." Apparently, the deceased girl's aunt Vandana Talwar who has been campaigning to prove the parents' innocence has provided all the relevant material pertaining to the parents' point of view.

"There are some documents written from Aarushi's parents' perspective that Vishal Bhardwaj who has scripted Meghna's film, was provided with. These served as the basis of the plot. The film will basically plead for the parents' innocence." While Konkona Sen Sharma and Sohum Shah play Aarushi's parents, Tabu apparently plays Aarushi's aunt. Irrfan Khan plays the officer investigating the case.
