Writer of Ram Gopal Varma's 'Sarkar' and director of 'The Stoneman Murders', Manish Gupta is all set to reveal the real motive behind 26/11 terror attacks on Mumbai through his forthcoming film 'Mumbai v/s Ajmal Kasab'. The film which is yet to go on floors has been delayed due to budgeting issues. The casting is yet to be finalised.
"My film is a documentary-drama unlike the previous film 'Total 10' which was made on Kasab. That was a 'Deshdrohi' kind of film. Just like Black Friday which revealed the real story behind the Mumbai bomb blasts and was based on a researched book by former crime reporter Hussain Zaidi, mine will be a film based on immense research. The script of the film is ready and is backed by credible proof. I know how sensitive the topic is and thus I have ensured that Kasab is not glamourised or sympathised with in my film" says Manish Gupta.
Manish adds, "No body really knows why 26/11 happened. Only a certain section of the press knows the real story. 26/11 was Pakistan's way of diverting US's attention from Lashkar-e-taiba and Taliban, terrorist groups which operate from Pak-Afghanistan border. It shows how youngsters for livelihood enrol themselves in Lashkar, get trained, are brainwashed and then become a full fledged terrorists. What exactly happened on 26/11 night will also be shown in the film. My film is through Kasab's eyes."
So will the current Kasab trial and verdict alter the script we ask? "Not really. My film is based on the 40 page court document where Kasab has confessed to various things, besides he keeps changing his statements. Inputs by journalist Kartikeya Tripati who has attended Kasab's all court hearings has also helped me in making this film. I've crosschecked the information I have received from various sources to ensure the film is as authentic as possible."
"On a personal note, I want Kasab to get a life sentence instead of a death penalty as he should be tortured every day of his life and be made a living example of shame so that every budding terrorist knows his fate", concludes Manish.
