Actress Survi Chatterjee turns producer, announces her own film based on Honor Killings in India

StarBuzz, Toronto-

Item girl and actress Survi Chatterjee has turned producer and announced her own film project. The film will be directed by Hemant Nilim Das and features Survi Chatterjee in the main lead. The film is based on the story of a young couple who hail from different castes and communities from the interiors of Rajasthan.  It is based on the subject of honour killings in certain sections and certain castes in India.  The film also features Bhojpuri hero Manoj Malhotra in the main lead opposite Survi Chatterjee. Hemant Nilim Das has recently completed India’s first uncut film Underground which deals with the link between terrorists and politicians in North-East India.

Says Survi Chatterjee, “ I have done extensive research on the Khap community and met with Khap Panchayat leaders as well in Haryana and other sects in India. The film also shows how the law enforcement agencies particularly the police support community leaders and do not help the couples involved in inter-caste marriages. It is based on the real-life instances of five honour killing cases in the last 2 years.”

Women’s Groups claim that around 25,000 women and girls are killed each year around the world in honor-related killings.
