Bigg Boss 1 Winner Rahul Roy Wants To Make a Film On Migrants During Lockdown, Has Even Decided The Title!

The coronavirus outbreak had started of in China’s Wuhan but soon became a global pandemic with innumerable deaths all across the globe. While a vaccine for this virus is yet to be discovered and the world is still to cure from it, in India it would also be remembered due to the plight of migrant labourers. Several labourers had been stuck outside their homes without a job, with no money to feed themselves and no means of transport to go back. Most has started to walk for thousands of kilometers to reach their destination. It has been one of the main concerns for almost all the citizens of the nation.

Now, Ashiqui actor and Bigg Boss 1 winner, Rahul Roy wants to turn the plight of the migrants into a film. He has also zeroes in a title for the film- ‘Walk’. In fact, he wants to act in the film too. Talking about it, he said, “I have roped in Nitin Gupta, who directed me in ‘Death Of An Ambassador’, to helm this project. ‘The Walk’ is a story of human trial and the heart-wrenching situation that migrant workers are facing. It revolves around two men — Roshan and Azaan — and their journey from Mumbai to Uttar Pradesh. I play Roshan in the film.”

Talking about the film, he added,  “’The Walk’ shows how hardship and pain are masked by the simplicity of life and how Roshan and Azaan get home. Though the film focuses on their journey, through their eyes, you get a glimpse of the life of all migrant workers, who are trying to return to the sanctuary of their home. Our endeavour is to tell a beautiful story and remember this time — something that we never thought we would see in this lifetime. We hope that through our compelling storytelling, we touch many hearts and are better prepared for any such situation the next time”

Well, that’s actually a good idea to put it into the memory of the generations to come, isn’t it?
