Aparna Sen on the release of The Rapist, “Policy of OTT platforms has shifted drastically towards mainstream content”

The ever-gorgeous Aparna Sen won’t be seen too often on screen. “I would rather make films than star in them. I was happy to direct my daughter Konkona (Sen Sharma) in The Rapist. I can’t wait for the world to see it,” she said.

According to reports in a section of the media, Aparna Sen’s next film is Her Indian Summer. An Indo-U.K. co-production, it is an Indo-British love story set during the 1947 partition of the subcontinent into India and Pakistan.

When I reached out to the gorgeous Aparna Sen about the project, she replied, “Thank you for your interest in my forthcoming film. But nothing is finalised yet and I’m superstitious about talking about a project that has not yet been greenlit. I promise to talk to you about it in detail once things advance some more.”

Aparna Sen’s next release is The Rapist, co-produced by Applause Entertainment. A hard-hitting elucidation on the gangrape of a white-collar woman (Konkona Sen Sharma), it will leave you shattered. It is brutal and beautiful. Fiercely relevant to our times, and timeless for this reason only.
