Prime Minister Narendra Modi will watch Vikrant Massey’s recently released movie ‘The Sabarmati Report’ on Monday (December 2) at 4 pm. According to media reports, the PM will visit Balyogi Auditorium in the Parliament Library Building to watch the movie. Directed by Dheeraj Sarna and produced by Ektaa Kapoor, the film also stars Raashii Khanna and Ridhi Dogra in key roles.
The film claims to reveal the truth behind the fire incident in the Sabarmati Express at Godhra on February 27, 2002. 59 devotees lost their lives in the incident when they were returning from Ayodhya after participating in a religious ceremony.
PM’s decision to watch the film comes just hours after Vikrant announced his retirement. In the wee hours of Monday Vikrant shared an official note to announce hos decision to quit acting. His decision has shocked his fans as well as his industry colleagues.
“The last few years and beyond have been phenomenal. I thank each and everyone of you for your incredible support. But as I move forward, I realise it’s time to recalibrate and go back home. As a husband, father and a son. And also as an actor,” Vikrant’s statement read.
It further mentioned, “So coming 2025, we would meet each other for one last time. Until time deems right. Last 2 movies and many a years of memories. Thank you again. For everything and everything in between. Forever indebted.”
When PM Modi lauded The Sabarmati Report
On November 18, the PM lauded The Sabarmati Report for its effort in uncovering the truth. Responding to an X user who tagged him with the film’s trailer, the PM praised the movie for shedding light on the events surrounding the 2002 Godhra train tragedy.
Highlighting the importance of bringing facts to light, PM Modi, who was the Chief Minister of Gujarat at the time of the train burning, wrote, “Well said. It is good that this truth is coming out, and that too in a way common people can see it. A fake narrative can persist only for a limited period of time. Eventually, the facts will always come out.”
