Kill the Rapist? is a Bollywood drama-thriller film directed by Sanjay Chhel and produced by iRock Media Pvt. Ltd with financial contributions by female private equity investors.[1][2] The film starring Anjali Patil attempts to amplify the burning issue of Rape in India.[3] The official theatrical trailer of the film was released on December 16, 2013, exactly one year after 2012 Delhi gang rape.[4][5][6]

Plot[]

The film is about a woman (Anjali Patil) who tracks down a serial rapist (Sunny Hinduja) who attempts to make her his latest target. The woman lives with her two female housemates (Sadiya Siddiqui and Isheta Sarckar).

Cast[]

Production[]

The film doesn't advocate the death penalty for convicted rapists.[7][8] Instead, the movie is trying to channel widespread outrage at a perceived increase in sexual crimes against women.[9] The film is set in Delhi. Private equity investors Charu Goel from Delhi and a woman identified as Ms Kothari from Mumbai put money into the film.[10] Some scenes of the film have been shot in Madh Island in northern Mumbai. As many as 400 men auditioned to play the part of the rapist, a role that eventually went to Sunny Hinduja.[11]

The production company released a trailer on YouTube giving two telephone numbers to call in, stating that whether the callers voted to kill the rapist or not would determine how the film would end.
