After impressing us with his performance in the hit film, 12th Fail, Vikrant Massey is gearing up for his next film, The Sabarmati Report. The film is based on the real-life incident when 59 Hindu pilgrims, who were returning from Ayodhya died in a fire inside the Sabarmati Express near the Godhra railway station in Gujarat. The incident took place in 2002. After releasing the trailer, the makers have now shared a video of Vikrant where he is speaking about the incident.

As the video starts and Vikrant's character starts speaking, someone asks if the English reporter is available but as he isn't, Samar continues breaking the news saying the incident was not an accident. However, he doesn't reveal anything else but the gripping video gives an idea that he knew that it was an attack on the pilgrims.
Take a look at the video below:
The Sabarmati Report also stars Raashi Khanna as a fellow reporter to Vikrant's Samar and Ridhi Dogra as a senior anchor. As the trio struggles to gather the evidence to prove their claims about the attack, they face the scrutiny of their bosses.

In the teaser, Samar says, “Pura desh sach janne ke liye media ki taraf dekhta hai aur humare media sach ko dikhane se pehle apne upar baithay hue malik ko dekhte hai (The whole nation looks at the media to report the truth but the media looks at their boss before showing the truth).”
Directed by Rajan Chandel, and produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, Amul V Mohan, and Anshul Mohan, the film will be released in theatres, on August 2, 2024.
