The makers of The Kerala Story - Sudipto Sen and Vipul Shah - are back with a new project called Bastar: The Naxal Story. The teaser of the film was released on Tuesday on social media and from the looks of it, the film appears to be extremely political.

The film has Adah Sharma playing IPS Neerja Madhavan and she seems to be on a mission to nab Naxals at all costs. 

The film, said to be based on a true incident, will release on March 15.

The teaser showcases a one-minute-long monologue enacted by Adah Sharma's character IPS Neerja Madhvan.

Adah's character is seen at her office in a soldier-at-war look. She says, “Pakistan me hue humare chhar yuddhon me humare 8738 jawan shaheed hue. Lekin kya aapko pata hai humare desh ke andar Naxaliyon ne 15000 jawano ki hatya ki hai? (8738 of our Indian soldiers were killed in the four wars with Pakistan, but do you know, Naxals have killed 15000 soldiers alone)?”

The clip goes on to mention Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University and makes bold claims.

The teaser then alleges that the students of JNU celebrated when 76 soldiers were killed in Bastar and then talks of 'leftists, liberals, pseudo-intellectuals from cities' who are in support of those in Bastar who are planning to divide India.

Produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah's Sunshine Pictures and co-produced by Aashin A. Shah, Bastar: The Naxal Story is directed by Sudipto Sen and will have Adah Sharma in the lead. The film will be released on 15th March 2024, in cinemas worldwide.
