Why another film on Bhanwari? Nikhil Tonk explains, “Jagmohan Mundhra’s film was in regards to the assault case. That was only half the adventure. Consistent with her family and news reports, she was killed.
However, the CBI chargesheet contests that she’s alive and outdoors the rustic. Our film will show her true side. While the primary half can be about how people fooled and used her, the second one part will take care of her revenge.”
