After winning accolades at several film festivals, Sonu Nigam will be presenting Spotless on his Youtube channel as well. The film, dealing with a sensitive issue, stars Shweta Rohira along with Sonu.
Spotless traces the indomitable spirit of an acid attack survivor and the Saurabh M Pandey directorial has definitely struck a chord with the viewers and its award winning streak at prestigious festivals like Best Editor award at CKF International film festival , International short film festival of India , Sonu Nigam winning The Best actor and Saurabh M Pandey as The Best Director award at Buddha international film festival , official selection at Jaipur International Film Festival & Goa Film Festival are testaments of it.
The story revolves around a young couple who battle the circumstances to come to terms with the incident that shook their world. It throws light on factors like family support and strong will which are imperative in such unfortunate situations.
Interestingly, Sonu always felt a deep sense of compassion towards acid victims after he had heard of a sound engineer’s daughter being at the receiving end of this heinous crime and the perpetrator, still unpunished. When Saurabh M Pandey approached him for the role, Sonu agreed because he liked the script and was moved by the message of the film.
Commenting on the same, Sonu Nigam says “Spotless is an important film because of its sensitive portrayal of a very important issue which unfortunately we as a country still grapple with regularly. We want people to realise what an acid attack can do to a person physically and mentally, so as to hinder anyone who even thinks of attempting this. If this movie can, in any which way, make a difference for the better, I think we’d have achieved our goal.”
The film produced by Naven Kumar Sharma will be available on Sonu Nigam’s youtube channel on 25th June.
