Nirbhoya

Sudeshu Shivam and Abhishek Kumar

In an interview, Ashish Vidyarthi said that the director of Nirbhoya was inspired to make this film after he read a report of a rape and mutilation of a victim of South Africa soon after the Delhi incident. The victim of the rape was a 23yearold trainee physiotherapist whose real name was Jyoti Singh, but she came to be known as Nirbhaya, meaning fearless. However, during a press meet at the Press Club Kolkata, director Milan Bhowmik said that the film is not based on the Delhi rape case, but actually on the present scenario of our society. He added that the film will create a sense of responsibility among his viewers. The mahurat of Nirbhoya was held at the Floatel Hotel in Kolkata onFebruary 2013.According to the director, the aim of the film is to make the people aware that antirape laws or street protests alone cannot prevent the repetition of such a dangerous event. Though the incident was set in Delhi, the characters of the film would be based in West Bengal. The film is also the first project of the production house, Sambit Media and Productions. ........
