alhotra and Parineeti Chopra are gearing up for the release of their upcoming film Jabariya Jodi. Directed by Prashant Singh, the film will focus on the concept of pakadwa vivah (groom kidnapping), which is a very serious problem prevailing in Bihar.
In a Mid-Day report, director Prashant said that Sidharth and Parineeti will meet real-life couples of pakadwa vivah from all over the country, who were forced to marry each other by their parents. The director said that many such jodis have connected with the team after the trailer and are happy to see that this issue is being highlighted in cinema.
"The response to the trailer and songs has been great, and many such jodis have connected with us and are happy that we're bringing this issue to light. Though the film has a comical treatment, we are also highlighting the decade-long practice of forced marriages. Since many instances of groom kidnapping have been incorporated in the film, we decided to organise an interactive session between these real jodis and our reel jabariya jodi to start a conversation around this subject," he told the newspaper.
Jabariya Jodi also stars Jaaved Jaaferi and Aparshakti Khurana in key roles. The film is set to hit the screens on August 2 and will clash with Sonakshi Sinha's Khandaani Shafakhana at the box office.
Meanwhile, this is not the first time that filmmakers have touched the issue of forced marriages. In 2010, director Sushil Rajpal's film Antardwand, which starred Raj Singh Chaudhary in a lead role, was a realistic take on the practice of 'pakadwa vivah'.
