ON MONDAY, the OTT streaming platform Zee5 announced its new film, “200” starring Amol Palekar, Barun Sobti and “Sairat ” star Rinku Rajguru. The movie is directed by Sarthak Dasgupta and backed by Yoodlee Films – the film production arm of Saregama.
The filmmaker believes the movie will chronicle the “oppression and injustice suffered by daily women.” 200″ also features Sahil Khattar, Saloni Batra, Indraneil Sengupta and Upendra Limaye.
According to Nimisha Pandey, head, Hindi Originals, Zee5 India: “It was important for a “powerful” story like “200” to get the platform so that it reaches to the world and “brings to light the harsh realities that still exist.”
Furthermore, she added: “We are happy to collaborate with Saregama, Yoodlee Films and Film Jungle Entertainment who curated the story and hope that this film reaches as many people as possible and leads to a necessary conversation,”
Siddharth Anand Kumar, vice president of films at Saregama, said “200” chronicles a “real and relevant” story that needs to be told.
We have always strived to make films which have an urgency and message to society. Using a true incident as a backdrop, the film sheds light on the issues of casteism and examines the very nature of justice and oppression.
“The film raises more questions than it answers, and we hope it will spark a debate about these important issues,” Kumar added.
This inspiring film will soon be released on Zee5.
