Ashutosh Gowarikar has come forward in support of his old friend Ujjval Thengti who has based his film Within the name of Tai at the real-life incident of the gruesome killing of social activist Navleen Kumar in 2002.
Thengti had given Gowarikar his first break as an actor within the Marathi film Vajir, long ago in 1994. The director could be coming to observe the film today evening.
Thengti says, “It is the tale of an excessively dear friend of mine, Navleen Kumar. She was my classmate. She had a perfect career sooner than us but instead chose to spend her life for the Adivasis and their development. I don’t remember any woman ever fighting against the land mafia and she or he was probably the primary lady to do so.”
Navleen was brutally killed on June 19 in 2002. The director adds, “She had 19 stab wounds when her body was found and till date there's no justice for her. Through my film, I need to tell people, the media and the political powers to do justice for her. We want another incident just like the Jessica Lal case to happen.”
On the support that he have been receiving for his project, Thengti says, “Apart from Ashutosh who has are available in my support, Dilip Vengsarkar has also extended his support and can be present.
There are many more dignitaries. I DON'T want another help except the truth that these dignified persons are helping me take the case forward and create awareness about Navleen.”
