It is a film based on facts

New Delhi: Ahead of the release of his film “Accident or Conspiracy: Godhra”, actor Hitu Kanodia on Saturday said the intention of the cast and crew was to present facts and not to “upset” the audience.

Directed by MK Shivaaksh and produced by BJ Purohit, the film is based on the events surrounding the Godhra train fire in 2002.

Addressing a press conference here, Kanodia said the film’s director researched the subject for five years before taking up the project.

“We didn’t want to upset people in any way, we just wanted to find out the truth about the whole incident… It’s a fact-based film. We are glad we made this film…

“We are 22 years late with this film, it should have been made then… We are not biased about the events in this film, that’s why the title is ‘Accident or Conspiracy,'” the actor told reporters here.

Also present at the event were Shivaaksh along with actors Denisha Ghumra, Akshita Namdev and Rajendra Tiwari.

Namdev expressed a similar opinion and said the intention of the film was to bring the facts clearly to light.

“We met people who had lost loved ones in the incident and its aftermath… We had to tell the story as it was,” she added.

Touted as a story of pain, suffering and sacrifice, ‘Accident Or Conspiracy: Godhra’ will hit theatres on July 19. It also stars Ranvir Shorey and Manoj Joshi in the lead roles.
