Assamese film on female foeticide to release on 13 July
MUMBAI: Assamese film Me and My Sister, based on the issue of female foeticide, is scheduled for release in seven languages on 13 July.
The Rajesh Bhiyan directed film throws light on cases of exploitation of women and ill-treatment prevalent in the state of Assam.
Initially, the film was made in Assamese for the people of Assam. But the recent storm created by Aamir Khan‘s show Satyamev Jayate on female foeticide forced producer Nepon Dhoula to dub the film in languages such as Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Bhojpuri, Rajasthani and English.
Said Dhoula, “The film deals with the fate of girl child. Currently, under the Indira Gandhi child Welfare scheme, Government of India presents an amount of Rs 25,000 on the birth of first girl child to the families and Rs 20,000 on the birth of second which we feel is not enough and should be increased.”
The film, shot in cinemascope, has been produce under banner NBDK Production.
