Animal trafficking and cruelty is a grave environmental issue and I am happy that the festival is giving a voice to the voiceless. This is a shot in the arm as we prep for a bigger Part-2. We are thankful to the selection committee at Stuttgart and stoked to be there for our European Premiere."'Lakadbaggha' is the story of an animal lover vigilante vs an animal abuser kingpin. This action film deals with the underbelly of illegal animal trade and the inhuman treatment of the voiceless creatures.The film had its World Premiere at the Kolkata International Film Festival and its International Premiere at the HBO South Asian International Film Festival.

On Monday, the makers unveiled the first poster of the film, which is about an ordinary boy who is on an extraordinary mission to fight against the illegal animal trade industry.View this post on InstagramA post shared by Anshuman Jha (@theanshumanjha)An animal-loving vigilante Arjun Bakshi, while trying to protect his adopted Indian stray dogs, unearths the fact that an underground illegal animal trade cell functions from Kolkata port. On investigating he chances upon a rare species of the Indian Striped Hyena (Lakadbaggha) - which has been kidnapped from Corbett National Park & is being sold in the black market.Anshuman, who leads the film, had put over six months into training in Krav-Maga (Israeli Martial Arts Form) and also went to New York to train under Tsahi Shemesh (Trainer of the Avengers team-Falcon and The Winter Soldier)."Animals and action films are two of my BIGGEST passions. After playing a gay man in Hum Bhi Akele... I wanted to do something high octane but pure. I have given more than 12 months of my life in training, shooting and trying to be authentic towards the 'Hand-To-Hand' martial arts form this movie brings to India 'Krav-Maga' - its just raw street fight style action. It is an Action Thriller made by a bunch of animal lovers so it's not JUST an Action film, it has more. I am grateful to the team, especially the stunt team on the film," Anshuman said.Ridhi also shared her experience working on the film."This film is special at many levels. At the heart of it is the story. Not everyday you see a film that has the good mix of content with masala. This film dwells into the plight of animals and their welfare. That instantly made me want to do it as my bollywood debut. Second thing was the action and the character I got to play. At this point perhaps I can't say much, but I will say - I definitely wanted to do something different than the characters I've played on the web - for a first film and this film and my part in it gave me that experience. I have always choosen my projects based on the team. Anshuman's choice and his passion for animals & the stellar international team at work, I wanted to be a part of the story from the very first reading. Anshuman is just so clear and incredibly planned in how he wanted to take the process of the film - his precision & clarity is a joy as an actor for me and rubs off on the team," she added.Produced by First Ray Films, 'Lakadbaggha' also stars Milind Soman.

Updated: May 3, 2021 - 4:38 PM IST After collecting accolades around the world, Mansi and Veers heart-warming tale about embracing love, life and friendship in Hum Bhi Akele, Tum Bhi Akele is set to arrive on Disney+ Hotstar VIP. Actors Zareen Khan and Anshuman Jha portray the role of Mansi and Veer - two strangers and proud members of the LGBT+ community; who have more in common than they realise and chance upon each other at a bar while trying to escape their respective realities. The duo soon embark on a road trip that turns out to be a journey of a lifetime. As they drive from Delhi to Mcleodganj, Veer and Mansi discover that love is truly beyond gender.Hum Bhi Akele, Tum Bhi Akele created big noise globally as it won over several international film critics and enthusiasts, and clinched the Best Film-Audience Choice award at the HBO South Asian International Film Festival, New York. Winning the Jury Award Best Actor (Anshuman Jha), Best Actress-Hindi Films(Zareen Khan) and Best Director (Harish Vyas) awards at the 2020 Rajasthan International Film Festival, Hum Bhi Akele, Tum Bhi Akele was also the centrepiece film at the IFFM Melbourne 2020 and was the Closing Night Gala Film at Kashish 2020, Asia's biggest LGBTQ film festival. Written and directed by Harish Vyas and produced by First Ray Films, the film addresses homosexuality, friendship and love through its lead characters and their humane journey. Hum Bhi Akele, Tum Bhi Akele releases on 9th May 2021 exclusively for subscribers of Disney+ Hotstar VIP and Disney+ Hotstar Premium.Director Harish Vyas said, Hum Bhi Akele, Tum Bhi Akele is a human story of a special friendship that blooms, by chance, between a man and woman - both homosexuals - who are not only polar opposites - think yin & yang, but have had completely different personal journeys so far. My endeavour with this film is to bring forth the warm, positive, loving embrace that is the soul of friendship and to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community which I have been close to. We are grateful to have had a universal audience in New York, Australia and all the festivals where the film was showered with love and several global recognitions. After Angrezi Mein Kehte Hain I wanted to follow up with a light, compassionate journey to re-discover love and friendship. Hum Bhi Akele, Tum Bhi Akele is the culmination of that thought. I am hoping that it also receives a positive response from audiences watching it on Disney+ Hotstar VIP.Actor Zareen Khan said, I was immediately drawn to the depth and emotionality of Mansi's character since the first time that I heard the narration of Hum Bhi Akele, Tum Bhi Akele by Harish Sir and post reading the screenplay - its unique storyline just hooked me. Just like Veer and Mansi's lives change after their road trip, Hum Bhi Akele, Tum Bhi Akele has been a life-changing experience for me and I do hope the film is able to relay the message that love is love - to even more people as it releases on Disney+ Hotstar VIP.Actor Anshuman Jha said, The intent has been to bring forth a Pure' story. The Supreme Court of India has legalised homosexuality, but there is still a section of society that considers it a taboo in India and my character Veer hasnt mustered up the courage to speak openly to his family because he fears that they wont accept it too. With friendship and love at its core, Hum Bhi Akele, Tum Bhi Akele is a movie that will feel like a warm hug and hopefully inspire people to have more open conversations. Encourage Acceptance. We missed the theatre due to the Pandemic but I couldnt be happier that more audiences will be able to watch it on Disney+ Hotstar VIP. It's my last work which my mother saw before I lost her in 2020 and it's therefore even more special for me.
