Arjun Rampal seems to have a busy 2021. The actor was recently in the news because of the shooting of Dhaakad which features Kangana Ranaut in the lead role. Now, as per the latest news, Arjun has signed yet another project with Konkana Sen Sharma. The movie is titled as The Rapist. It will be about the socio-political realities and will be presented in the most sensible manner. This movie will mark the second collaboration between the two stars Arjun and Konkona. Earlier they were seen together for Venod Mitra’s 2013 independent anthology film Meridian Lines that told the story of seven troubled strangers. The film will be helmed by Konkana’s mother who is also a famous Bengali filmmaker, Aparna Sen. The Rapist will be produced by Banijay Asia.
Arjun Rampal to Share Screen with Konkona Sensharma for The Rapist
“The Rapist is a hard-hitting drama that examines how much of society is responsible for producing rapists. It’s about the victim’s trauma, the circumstances, and how a woman deals with it. The pre-production has already started and will get off the ground officially in March,” said a source close to the development.
The actor-director and activist Aparna, has never shied away from expressing concerns about the heinous crimes committed against women. Speaking on the same, Aparna once said, “Women never came forward to denounce their rapists because they knew it would be useless and it would be they who would be held responsible anyway. Often they would not speak up for fear of breaking up the family. Today, the situation has changed radically. There are strong laws in workplaces where sexual abuse is taken very seriously and strong action is taken against the perpetrators. Women are much more ready to come forward and denounce their rapists today.”
