Filmmaker Anubhav Sinha, who is awaiting the release of his film Bheed, has said that drawing the parallels between the Covid lockdown and Partition was a deeply personal choice for him. The film, which stars Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar in the lead, tells the story of countless migrant workers who walked miles, battled the odds to reach their homes during the first nationwide lockdown in India which was the harshest lockdown in the world. The trailer of the film was recently pulled down after a dialogue in the film, that compared the 2020 Covid Lockdown to the partition of India, seemed to ruffle many feathers. Commenting on the comparisons between the two events, Anubhav Sinha said, “Comparing the Covid lockdown to the partition was my personal voice. Every filmmaker tries to assimilate events and the effect it had on society through his perception and interpretation.” Bheed is all set to hit the screens on March 24. (IANS)
