We had recently reported about producer Manish Mundra making his directorial debut with Siya, a social drama. The film's first look has been released. It stars Pooja Pandey in the titular role and Vineet Kumar Singh as the other lead.

According to the makers, Siya tells the story of a 'small town girl who, against all odds, decides to fight for justice and starts a movement against the vicious patriarchal system.'

"Day after day, year after year, the cases of crime against women escalate," Manish said in a statement. "Siya is an attempt to depict the abject inhumanity that powerless, innocent women are subjected to in a world that treats sex as taboo and yet women as sex objects.”

Siya, produced by Drishyam Films, is scheduled for release on September 16.
