Talking about the film, Anubhav Singh earlier revealed why he decided to make it in black and white. “The key objective of shooting the film in black and white was to showcase how the visuals of the social disparity during India’s Lockdown were strikingly similar to what people went through during the 1947 India Partition. This story is about people whose lives changed in a snap and the colours from their lives were lost when the border was drawn within the country,” he had said as quoted by Indian Express.
Bheed will hit theatres on March 24.
