Cinema has played the role of transforming society. In our country, it has happened sporadically but it never became a movement. When we go to watch cinema, we watch dance, hear songs and come back. But we never explored it values of creating awareness. This was the experimentation of Vipul (Vipul Amrutlal Shah) and me to make a film on the reality of the country. 'Kerala Story' and 'Bastar' are results of that."The movie is helmed by Sudipto Sen and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah.Shah and Sudipto's first collaboration 'The Kerala Story' depicts how thousands of young women were allegedly brainwashed into joining the Islamic State (IS) and heading off to countries like Syria and Afghanistan.'Bastar: The Naxal Story' is set to hit the theatres on March 15.
