Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday praised the film ‘The Sabarmati Report’, saying the “truth is coming out.” “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!” the prime minister said in a social media post.
He made these assertions while replying to an social media user who had tagged him with a video of the trailer of the film, which released on Friday. ‘The Sabarmati Report’ is based on the burning of S-6 coach of Sabarmati Express near Godhra station of Gujarat on February 27, 2002, in
which 59 Hindu devotees returning from Ayodhya were burnt to death. The incident triggered riots in Gujarat that year.
Dheeraj Sarna has directed "The Sabarmati Report", produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, Amul V Mohan and Anshul Mohan. The film features Vikrant Massey, Raashii Khanna and Ridhi Dogra.
This is not the first time when Prime Minister Narendra Modi has praised a film. In 2022, he praised Vivek Agnihotri’s ‘The Kashmir Files.’
