Controversial director Sudipto Sen, known for last year’s “The Kerala Story,” is back with another bold venture, “Bastar: The Naxal Story,” starring Ada Sharma. Scheduled for release on March 15, the film has stirred controversy with its trailer, focusing on events in Chhattisgarh where 75 CRPF jawans lost their lives in a counter-insurgency operation against Maoists.
The narrative sheds light on the alleged injustices committed by police and soldiers, portraying Bastar as a victim. Amidst growing tensions, legal interventions are anticipated in the coming weeks. Whether the film releases as scheduled remains uncertain, overshadowed by the brewing controversy.
