Bastar teaser: Adah Sharma turns IPS officer who declares ‘war’ against Naxals in Sudipto Sen, Vipul Shah film

Bastar teaser: Adah Sharma in the film claims Leftists are joining hands with Naxals in Bastar to divide Bharat. It is said to be based on a true incident.

Bastar teaser: The first teaser of Sudipto Sen and Vipul Shah's film is out, and it's extremely political, to say the least. Starring Adah Sharma as IPS Neerja Madhavan, the teaser features her talking about going against Naxals at all costs. The film, said to be based on a true incident, will release on March 15.

The teaser video introduces Adah's character at her office in a soldier-at-war look. She says, “Pakistan me huye humare 4 yuddho me humare 8738 jawan shahid huye. Lekin kya aapko pata hai humare desh ke andar Naxaliyo ne 15000 jawano ki hatya ki hai? (8738 of our Indian soldiers were killed during four wars with Pakistan, but do you know, Naxals have filled 15000 soldiers alone)?”

She calls herself an IPS officer ‘at war against Naxals.’ The film is directed by Sudipto Sen of The Kerala Story fame. It's backed by Vipul Shah. It is written by Amarnath Jha, Sudipto Sen and Vipul Shah.
