Director P C Shekar has just completed the shoot of The Terrorist, which stars Ragini Dwivedi. The film’s first look was revealed by ‘Rebel Star’ Ambareesh on Monday.
With Ragini in the picture, Shekar has made sure that her portrayal is as authentic as possible.
“My idea was that she shouldn’t look anything like what she has in her previous films. Secondly, this film talks about a Muslim girl, Reshma and her family, who talk about terrorism. There are two kinds of terrorists - people who are directly involved, and second, those affected it. The latter, even though innocent, are victims of their circumstances. Ragini gives a full picture. A lot of research has gone into the film,” he says.
Why was Ragini considered for the project? “In society, and in the film, women are mostly affected in such situations. They have to go through a lot of pain. It’s this pain that I thought Ragini will be best able to bring out,” he explains. The film’s music is by S Pradeep Varma, who has previously assisted Arjun Janya and V Sridhar; cinematography is by Murali Krish.
