Director Sunil Pathare’s long and interesting journey of exploring different creative endeavours has resulted in him making Meera, a 30-minute film on women’s safety. His passion for photography and landscape paintings, intertwined with his penchant for storytelling, holds him in good stead. Talking about his passion for filmmaking, Pathare says, “A good idea and a thought-provoking message, if executed well, will always find an audience. Once an idea makes its place in my mind, nothing deters me from seeing it through.”
The film is Pathare’s directorial debut and he chose to take a non-commercial route while making a sensitive and muchneeded film around women’s issues. He adds, “Looking at the situation not only in India, but around the world, there should be many more films like Meera. If we have a medium like cinema that can create an influence around the world, we should use it to bring about a change.”
Full of ideas, Pathare aims to venture into unexplored realms of filmmaking by experimenting with thought-provoking themes and subjects. The story of this movie depicts an alternate reality where there is no law stopping men from committing violent sexual acts against women. The narrative unfolds in a different way and puts forth lot of questions for the viewers to assess.
Meera, a Maxwell Entertainment presentation and Roopesh Rai production, produced by Kapil Pathare, creative producer Roopesh Rai Sikand, features Kimaya Bhattacharya playing the title role.
