Mumbai: Producer Shankar Naidu Adusumilli forthcoming release ‘Bharateeyans’ is said to be a courageous tribute to the Indian martyrs.
‘Bharateeyans’ promises to be one of the power-packed films filled with emotions and nationalism.
Calling himself the son of Bharat Mata (Mother India), Shankar said: “The Bharatiyas (Indians) need to demonstrate courage, unity and strength. We cannot be naive and remain silent about China’s actions. Just like the Ashoka pillar’s four lions imply power, courage, confidence and provide, we need to be resilient to safeguard our country. Jai Hind!”
Produced under Dr. Shankar Naidu Adusumilli’s banner Bharat American Creations, the film is slated to release in cinemas on July 14.
Shankar has been working in the field of medicine for the last three decades. He has unabashedly voiced concerns about China, labelling it as the biggest threat eyeing to encroach on Indian territory and alter the country’s map by renaming 11 places in Arunachal Pradesh and claiming it as South Tibet.
Furthermore, the producer has held China responsible as the origin of the devastating Covid pandemic which killed nearly 70 lakh people across the world. Expressing his dismay over the loss of 20 brave soldiers in the Galwan Valley in June 2020, Shankar urges every citizen to be united.
‘Bharateeyans’ is written and directed by Deena Raj, and stars Nirroze Putcha, Subha Ranjan, Sonam Thendup Barphungpa, Samaira Sandhu, Peden O Namgyal, and Rajeswari Chakraborty in leading roles.
The first look of the film was unveiled in 2022 leaving the netizens stunned. Recently, when the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) suggested changes to the film, including altering the name of China and removing references to the Galwan Valley, the producer argued, stating that the film is an answer to China’s atrocities.
“We extend complete support to our soldiers. The film is a heartfelt tribute to our army men who protect the country at the border, so we can live a peaceful life”, he asserted.
