Film-maker Madhur Bhandarkar on Friday
said he made "Indu Sarkar" as it was important to tell about the
emergency to the today's generation.
"I always wanted to make a period film and I am a big fan of 1970s so
when me and my writer (Anil) were brainstorming on this, suddenly the
idea of the Emergency popped out. So we thought of making a movie
against the Emergency's backdrop with a touch of human drama.
"The events in the film are inspired by true events and I thought its
important to tell this story specially to today's generation as they
are not aware about this Emergency of 21 months from 1975 to 1977,"
said Bhandarkar at the trailer launch where he was accompanied with his
entire team
"Though now because of social media, there is lot of awareness and
since the last five-six years, people are politically more aware about
things. So we thought that this is the right time to make a film on the
Emergency," he added.
In the trailer, Kirti Kulhari plays a role of woman who rebels against
her husband (Tota Roy Chowdhury) and becomes a political activist to
protest against the excesses of a political leader (Neil Nitin Mukesh's
whose look is based on Sanjay Gandhi). Supriya Vinod plays a politician
based on Indira Gandhi, while Anupam Kher portrays an underground
leader.
With music composed by Anu Malik, the film, produced by Bhandarkar
Entertainment and Mega Bollywood Pvt. Ltd, opens in theatres on July 28.
