Mumbai, Oct 12 Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, known for making films with dark themes, is presenting a short film titled “Beautiful World”. It is based on the 2016 incident that involved a woman and minor daughter getting gang raped in Bulandshahr district, Uttar Pradesh.
“I have started my company, Mad Hatters. I recently co-produced a short film called ‘Beautiful World’. Anurag came on board because he liked the fact that I wanted to make films on social issues,” Avantika Khattri, who has acted in films like “Kuch Kuch Locha Hai” and “War Chhod Na Yaar”, said in a statement.
“He (Anurag) is the presenter of the film. He introduced me to Shlok Sharma – the director,” she added.
