The film deals with the complex themes of sexual violence and restorative justice while exploring the aftermath of a dark, violent night on the victims as well as the perpetrators of the crime. It also delves into how one’s idealistic views are drastically altered when the truth hits uncomfortably close to home.
‘The Rapist’ sees the reunion of the talented mother-daughter duo of Aparna and Konkona after several successful films including the National Award-winning, ‘Mr And Mrs Iyer’.
The project also marks Aparna’s third Hindi film after helming ‘Saari Raat’ in 2015 and 2017’s ‘Sonata.’
This sensitive, unflinching drama also stars Tanmay Dhanania in a pivotal role. The post-production of the film is currently underway.
