Amitabh Bachchan says that ‘Pink’ is not a film about rape

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan is ready to deliver another knockout performance with his upcoming movie ‘Pink’. This courtroom drama thriller which features him playing a lawyer is making the right kind of noise after the release of an intriguing and impactful trailer. Recently, at the first song launch of this movie, Amitabh chose to spoke about the film’s plot which some are mistakenly taking it to be completely based on the issue of rape.

Talking about it at ‘Jeeney De Mujhe’ song launch event, Amitabh Bachchan said, “I think that the film talks about the current situation especially, for the younger generation. The story is based in Delhi and I just want to make it clear that Pink isn’t about rape but it is about circumstances that exist in the city of Delhi and most part of the country.”

“There are very strong statements you must have seen in that trial we had in the trailer. It’s just a glimpse, that what kind of language and thoughts that have been expressed. I want you to know that for me personally it is a film that I’ve great belief,” added Big B.

‘Pink’ revolves around three girls who are facing criminal charges for an attempt to murder and defamation of some men. The truth, however, will be revealed once the movie gets released.

The megastar added, “I hope after watching the film somewhere you will sit back and think… I always believe women in our country are half of the strength and they must have their dignity in their walks of life.”

‘Pink’ is produced by Shoojit Sircar and marks the debut of acclaimed Bengali filmmaker Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury in Hindi cinema.

Apart from Senior Bachchan, it also stars Taapsee Pannu, Kirti Kulhari, Andrea Taring and Angad Bedi in pivotal roles.

It is slated to release on September 16, 2016.
