After being eclipsed for years Jackie Shroff’s maiden production venture Grahan will finally see the light of the day on coming Friday.
The film has been moving at a snails pace for years and has been often shelved for one reason or the other. There were even times when it seemed wiser to abandon the project altogether. But Jackie didn’t lose patience, went the whole hog, completed the film and has now roped in Govinda to distribute it.
Directed by K. Shashilal Nair, the film is the
story of a rape victim’s struggle for justice, and a man who helps her come out of the trauma of this tragedy.
A politician’s son sexually molests Manisha Koirala and when she drags him to the court, he manages to walk away unblemished thanks to ace lawyer Jackie, who is tricked in to believing that the rapist is innocent. When truth dawns upon him, Jackie sets out to nail the culprit.
The film also marks the debut of model-turned-actress Anupama Verma who plays Jackie’s love interest. The film's tight script and a contemporary subject (a legal battle with political overtones) promises to be its key assets. But will it set the cash tills ringing or not, coming Friday we will know.
