‘Ankur Arora Murder Case’ promotion in PVR Plaza, Delhi

 ‘Ankur Arora Murder Case’ is a medical thriller film directed by Suhail Tatari; produced and written by Vikram Bhatt. The director and Kay Kay Menon who plays a major role were seen on 6^th June 2013 in a press conference to promote their movie at PVR Plaza.

The film revolves around the urgent and disturbing issue of death during surgery and is based on a real-life incident where a boy dies on the operation table due to medical negligence. The film stars Arjun Mathur, Kay Kay Menon, Vishakha Singh, Tisca Chopra and Paoli Dam.

When an eight year old boy, Ankur dies due to Dr. Asthana's (Kay Kay Menon) medical negligence, Romesh (Arjun Mathur) realises that a good surgeon is not necessarily a good person.
Together with Ankur's mother Nandita (Tisca Chopra), Romesh sets out on a turbulent journey to fight for what is right.

Speaking about the unique subject of the film, director said, “’Ankur Arora Murder Case' will be an eye opener as it speaks about medical negligence, the challenging part was that there should be a continuity in your mind throughout that a child is dead and that heaviness should be there every time, in each scene" Suhail Tatari also added that it is the first time this issue has been raised and converted into a movie.

Addressing the press Kay Kay Menon said, “The film is based on medical negligence, which is a critical, but true issue. We all face it. Whenever I talk about the issue, everyone has their own story to tell. People will be able to relate to it. I had to read the script a lot and know about medical malpractices to be able to get it right"

Ankur Arora Murder Case is set to release on 13th June, 2013.
