Bastar: The Naxal Story stars Adah Sharma in the lead role and deals with a very sensitive subject, which is why the cast and crew are shooting under special circumstances. This is not the first time that Vipul Shah has encountered security threats due to his choice of cinematic themes. The filmmaker recently faced a similar situation while working on his last blockbuster hit, The Kerala Story, which tackled another sensitive subject. The director-producer’s unwavering commitment to storytelling that highlights critical societal issues has sometimes brought him into the spotlight and exposed him to security risks.
