The trailer of The Sabarmati Report, featuring Vikrant Massey, Riddhi Dogra and Raashii Khanna, takes viewers through the Godhra riots of 2002. Ahead of the film’s release, Vikrant made a surprise visit to Godhra railway station in Panchmahal district, Gujarat, on Monday, the site where the incident happened. Dressed in a grey sweatshirt and blue denims, paired with a white baseball cap, the actor visited the site and went around to learn more about the incident.

The movie, directed by Dheeraj Sarna and produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, Amul V Mohan and Anshul Mohan, narrates the true story of the burning of the Sabarmati Express train. On February 27, 2002, the S6 coach of the train was set ablaze by the angry mob. In the film, Raashii and Vikrant play the role of journalists who are on a mission to uncover the truth behind this devastating incident.

Speaking about the plot of the movie, Ektaa Kapoor had earlier said, “I am telling the genesis of it. pehla pahlu (first aspect) – without undermining the other pehloos (aspects). Unfortunately, this pehlu, how it all started, has not been reported enough. That’s why we have decided to tell you how it started without undermining what happened later. It doesn’t mean if you tell one story, you undermine the other. It’s not about only one side. This is about how it started, very different.” 

The Sabarmati Report is slated for a theatrical release on November 15, 2024.
