Akshaye Khanna faced several ups and
downs in his life in the past few years. He
lost his father and veteran actor Vinod
Khanna last year to cancer. While he is still
recovering from the personal loss, the actor
is on his way to revive his Bollywood career.
The actor, after films like Dishoom and
Ittefaq, is now all set for another intriguing
role. He will be seen as a lawyer in Section
375: Marzi Ya Jabardasti along with Richa
Chadha
The film in question will be directed by
Rahasya fame Manish Gupta. The film
revolves around the debate of how women
often misuse rape laws. These stringent
laws are created by the government for the
protection of female gender. But there are
many who use its loopholes for their own
personal benefit. The film Section 375: Marzi
Ya Jabardasti explores these two aspects of
the same coins. It is inspired by 10 real life
cases.
Speaking on getting Akshaye Khanna on
board, Manish revealed that he wasn't
looking for a quintessential hero. His
requirements were that of an intelligent
guy who looks approximately 40 years old.
For him, Akshaye was the perfect match for
the role of a suave SoBo [South Mumbai]
lawyer who is fluent in English. On the other
hand, Richa Chadha will be seen as a public
prosecutor.
Interestingly, this will be the first time
where Akshaye Khanna and Richa Chadha
will be sharing screen space. Considering
that both these actors are considered to be
powerhouse performers, it will be an
interesting watch to see them battle it out
in the court room.
On the other hand, Manish Gupta revealed
that he has undergone extensive research
for the film. From meeting alleged rape
accused to survivors, he even explained the
process of a special court. It has a female
judge who is generally appointed only to
hear rape cases. Talking about the same
Manish says, "Rape laws are being misused
by men and women alike leaving the
judiciary and police confused as to which
rape case is genuine and which is fake.
Further adding about the research he
underwent the filmmaker adds, "There are
special courts with female judges who only
hear rape cases. I have also met survivors,
their families, alleged rapists and lawyers
representing both sides he says. "It's very
disturbing not only for the accused and the
survivors but also their families.
Furthermore, talking about the film, it
brings forth the much discussed debate on
rape and consensual sex. Manish also
asserted that the suspense of whether it
was rape or consensual will keep the
audience gripped till the end. He also stated
that both the lawyers will have ample
evidence to back up their case.
Section 375: Marzi Ya Jabardasti is said to
be produced by Abhishek Pathak, son of
producer Kumar Mangat. Pathak revealed
that he was super impressed with the
script and was immediately drawn to the
idea. Hence he decided to back the project.
"I have seen Manish's Rahasya and we
thought it was a great film. We know what
he will be able to achieve with this script.
When he came to us, we were drawn by the
idea of Section 375 and decided to back the
project. Further details on the film aren't
available as of now. The film is expected to
go on floor in March April this year.
