As per a report by IANS, the 57-year-old filmmaker said, “I got this idea while we were all working in Alibaug. At first, I was scared to share the idea with the team because I thought it would be rejected, but to my surprise, everyone liked it.”

Sinha further added, “I was apprehensive about how people would react to this film which is black and white when the trailer was about to be released because people are not used to seeing it. People made Mughal-e-Azam in colour for today’s time but we were doing the complete opposite. But, I believe films are made with your heart. And, this film is exactly that.”

Talking about the film earlier, Anubhav Sinha had said, “Bheed is a story of the most perilous times which changed everything for humanity. The key objective of shooting the film in black and white was to showcase how the visuals of the social disparity during India’s Lockdown were strikingly similar to what people went through during the 1947 India partition. This story is about people whose lives changed in a snap and the colours from their lives were lost when the border was drawn within the country.”

Speaking of the cast of Bheed, it includes some of the most talented actors in the industry, such as Rajkummar Rao, Bhumi Pednekar, Dia Mirza, Ashutosh Rana, Pankaj Kapur, and Kritika Kamra, among others. The film is slated to release on March 24 this year.
