Amit Sadh plays photojournalist in short film Ghuspaith-Beyond Borders

Actor Amit Sadh's upcoming short film Ghuspaith-Beyond Borders honours photo journalists of the world.

Written and directed by Mihir K. Lath, Ghuspaith is a film set at the border between India and Bangladesh. It tells the story of Manav (Amit) a photojournalist in a land ravaged by militancy and an urgent, devastating refugee crisis.

Talking about the film, Amit said, "When Mihir came with the story, I found that we are making the short film to honour the photo journalists of the world, like Danish Hussain who was killed by the Taliban in Afghanistan while reporting.”

"I knew about Danish from before, and I think it is very courageous and brave of all people who report war and crime. It takes a lot of guts to be in that kind of a scenario where bombs are blasting and bullets are being fired from all directions," he added.

Mihir said was attracted to tell this story in a quest to bring a humane understanding of a complicated, global issue of the refugee crisis.

"Amit and I were aligned from our very first meeting when I explained my vision to him, the kind of themes my movie was dealing with, and the way I wanted to invigorate the viewer into this high-tension human drama. Even before reading the script, he said yes to me.”

The principal photography of the short film took place in Maharashtra over four days with Amit, Dibyendu Bhattacharya and Pamela Bhutoria forming the ensemble.
