With Siya telling the story of a rape survivor’s fight for justice, Vineet says film aims to change society’s perspective about such crimes
The movie is fronted by Pooja Pandey and Vineet Kumar
Vineet Kumar asserts that a film like Siya, though disturbing, is also necessary in today’s times. With the drama, debutant director Manish Mundra takes an unflinching look at the trauma that rape survivors endure, and questions the indifference with which the law enforcement agencies treat the cases. Kumar plays a lawyer Mahender who supports the titular character — essayed by Pooja Pandey — as she seeks justice against the perpetrators. “Mahender is not related to Siya’s family. When her family tells her to be quiet about [the crime], Mahender stands up for her. That fascinated me,” begins the actor.
