New Delhi: The teaser of the upcoming film SIYA starring Pooja Pandey and Vineet Kumar Singh, was released on Wednesday. The film is the directorial debut of producer Manish Mundra. It is another honest human story from the Indian heartland that’s guaranteed to spark conversation and debate!
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 continues to be treated in the country. The teaser of the film is hard-hitting and will make you yearn for Siya's plight and from what we can see, the actors have delivered a raw and applause-worthy performance in the movie.
Produced by Drishyam Films, the makers of Masaan and Newton, SIYA tells the tale of a small-town girl who despite all hurdles, decides to take down oppressive patriarchy and fight for justice. The film stars Pooja Pandey and Vineet Kumar Singh, both of whom will be seen in completely new avatars as they bring life to these challenging characters.
Talking about the film director Manish Mundra said, “SIYA isn’t just a film but a movement. It’s a voice that will resonate with victims who’ve endured unimaginable emotional, physical, and mental pain. While the film is based out of the heartland of India, much like most of our films, it speaks to a global audience.”
Drishyam Films is known for making highly acclaimed films like 'Masaan', 'Newton', 'Aankhon Dekhi', 'Waiting', and more.
SIYA will release nationwide on 16th September 2022
