The principal cast of Jaane Kyun
oha Ali Khan and Vir Das, lead actors of a real life story of a family's survival on the night of 31 October, 1984, visited Chandigarh with the stat cast of the movie Jaane Kyun for its promotion.
Besides the lead other actors, co-actors Vineet Sharma, Deep Raj Rana producer Harry Sachdeva, director Shivaji Lotan Patil and Punjabi anchor Gurjit Singh were also present. This will be the first political thriller in Bollywood on the subject.
Both the stars are essaying challenging roles in the film based on the sufferings of various families in 1984 anti-Sikh riots. It showcases Sikh couples' lives and how it was ripped apart by the riots.
Soha has even learnt Punjabi for her character. Soha confirms, "My association to Haryana because of Pataudi is old and Punjab being a neighbouring state I feel myself associated to it as well. My character Tejinder is an intense and beautiful role. I have always loved thrillers and this movie is a political thriller that makes it fall in a genre I like." Soha really likes her new "sardarni" look and believes that more than the character the script of the movie is appealing.
Stand-up comedian turned actor Vir Das told Guardian20, "This role in the film is altogether different from what I have done earlier. In a new look, I play a character who goes through a serious dilemma between losing his life and his family. It had been a learning experience for me".
Shivaji Lotan Patil, who has done rigorous research on the subject says, "The story of the film is very touching and every character has an important role to play. It not only chroniclec a tragic night but also illustrates triumph of companionship over brutality."
Actor Gurjit Singh says, "Hailing from Punjab I have heard about the Sikh massacre from my father and my grandparents several times but as a part of the movie I could feel what all those people must have gone through."
The film is expected to release this October.
