The teaser of Vikrant Massey’s The Sabarmati Report was unveiled by the makers on Friday. It is directed by Dheeraj Sarna and also stars Raashii Khanna and Ridhi Dogra in pivotal roles. The film revolves around the death of karsevaks (RSS workers) in a fire on the Sabarmati Express at the Godhra railway station in Gujarat on the morning of February 27, 2002. The incident led to the Gujarat riots of 2002.
The teaser opens with a courtroom scene where Vikrant seems to be making an argument with regards the compensation for an incident. He is a journalist who is looking into the Godhra train fire incident along with Ridhi, who is also a reporter. There are comparisons made between the incident and America’s 9/11 terror attacks. The teaser ends with a monologue by Vikrant in the courtroom.
The film will be Vikrant’s first theatrical release since 12th Fail. He was recently seen in the role of a psychopathic serial killer in Netflix's Sector 36.
The Sabarmati Report was earlier directed by Ranjan Chandel, who left the project midway citing creative differences. It is written by Avinash Singh Tomar and Arjun Bhandegaonkar with dialogues by Dheeraj. Produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, Amul V Mohan and Anshul Mohan, the film is set to be released in theatres on November 15.
