DIRECTOR PROFILE:
Two-time National Award winner, Nilaanjan R Datta’s debut Hindi film Shadow Assassins’ puts the spotlight on the ‘secret killings’ of Assam, which marked the darkest period in the history of the North-Eastern state. Masked gunmen would raid the homes of those thought to be sympathizers of the outlawed militant group, ULFA, and pick them up.
Their bullet-ridden and mutilated bodies were discovered across the countryside, in fields and forests, streams and rivers. Homes were set on fire, and families were destroyed in a snap. The film, comprising an ensemble cast and crew drawn from the Hindi, Bengali, and Assamese film industries with Anurag Sinha and Mishti Chakravarty in the lead, and Rakesh Om and Hemant Kher in pivotal roles, releases in theatres on December 9.
