The teaser of the upcoming film ‘Siya’ was unveiled on Wednesday. The film, which marks the directorial debut of producer Manish Mundra, is a human story from the Indian heartland that aims to spark conversation and debate on how society treats its women and the oppressive social systems.The teaser gives the audiences a sense of the brutality and despair countless victims of violence and rape endure.
It also throws light on the shocking indifference with which the subject of rape continues to be treated in the country. It also reminds the viewer of the Hathras 2020 gang rape and murder case where a Dalit woman was raped by upper caste men in Hathras district of Uttar Pradesh. Commenting on the occasion, director Manish Mundra, who has earlier produced films like ‘Ankhon Dekhi’, ‘Masaan’, and ‘Newton’, said in a statement: “‘Siya’ isn’t just a film but a movement.
