The new clip of the film came out on Tuesday. The Sabarmati Report is a film that recites the incident that happened near the Godhra railway station on the Sabarmati Express in the Indian state of Gujarat on the morning of 27 February 2002.
The Sabarmati express train with a compartment of 59 karyasevaks coming back from Ayodhya was voluntarily put on fire. The doors of the compartment were closed. They were set ablaze and turned into ashes. But the incident, then quoted as an accident, led to the Gujarat Riots of 2002 and a far-fetched investigation into the issue. The movie will try to unravel those untold details on the screen.
The film, Starring Vikrant Massey, The lead star of the super hit film 12th Fail and Raashii Khanna, is all set to get into the theatre on 3rd May 2024.
