The Sabarmati Report, starring Vikrant Massey, launched its trailer in a grand premiere in the presence of all the cast and creators. The trailer was packed with stunning visuals and intense dialogues while delving into the tragedy that incited the infamous Godhra Riots.

The trailer established the plot of the film, revolving around the role media played in setting a narrative about the Sabarmati Express tragedy. It also establishes the biases present in the industry at that time on the basis of the language the journalist speaks. The trailer shows glimpses of the complex and intriguing characters played by Vikrant Massey, Raashii Khana and Riddhi Dogra.

During the launch, the cast and creators of the film shared their experiences and insights in the making of the film. After the trailer screening, the stage was opened for questioning by the journalists and fans. Responding to one question regarding the need to have this film, Vikrant said, “There are thousands of films, documentaries and reportage present on the internet regarding the Godhra Riots…But whether Sabarmati Express burned in an accident or a planned attack, what was conspiracy and the truth? You all have phones with the internet, and you can look for yourself, but you can’t find anything about this tragedy.”

“The Film does not showcase one aspect of the riots, and instead, it shows the genesis of the infamous riot without undermining the loss of life during the riots that followed it,” said Ekta Kapoor, who produced the film along with Shobha Kapoor.

The Sabarmati Report, directed by Ranjan Chandel, starring Vikrant Massey, Raashii Khana and Riddhi Dogra and produced by Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor, will be released on 15 November in theatres across the country.
