Ayushmann Khurrana is back with another hard-hitting subject that, like every other movie of his, is a story which is always pressed between the lips. Anek, a story about otherisation of the North East Indians have been a subject that`s always conveniently neglected. The violence and injustices with them has been portrayed here in a way that will shock your soul.
The trailer`s description read, “An untold story of an undercover cop set against the geopolitical backdrop of North East India. An action-thriller about a rebellion, an uprising. An Indian, who wants nothing more than peace for the nation.”
The three-minute-beyond trailer shows Ayushmann in the opening scene all suited up. He plays Joshua, a role of an army officer for the first time as he is posted on a mission to make the two groups agree on a peaceful compromise. In the process, he discovers the stark truth that shakes him from within, thus wanting to end the ever-going war.
The movie also has a side story of a girl (played by Deeplina Deka) who is an aspiring boxer but faces various tourble because of the mistreatments to the North East Indians. At the end of the trailer, Joshua asks an impactful question - “Does anybody want peace at all? Otherwise, why would no one solve such a small issue in so many years.”
Talking about Anek, the actor said, “Anek celebrates the spirit of truly being an Indian. Anubhav sir is pushing the envelope and setting a benchmark with his passionate storytelling with this film. My character Joshua compelled me to do things I had never done before, both physically and mentally. With the right guidance and training, I gave this role my best shot to bring life to everything Anubhav envisioned for the film.”
Anek marks the second collaboration between Anubhav Sinha and Ayushmann Khurran post Article 15.
The Thappad fame director said, “Anek has been my most challenging film so far. It’s based on a topic that’s probably been less spoken of in the county. It re-emphasises the fact that inspite of being different in our cultures, traditions, languages, India can rise above and win as a country. Despite all the challenges that came our way, whether it was shooting in difficult terrain or filming during the pandemic, we powered through. I feel a great sense of pride and triumph that we’ve accomplished everything we set out to with this film.”
Also featuring Danny Denzongpa and Manoj Pahwa, Anek is all set to release on May 27th in the cinemas near you. Watch the trailer here.
