Rape is the fourth common crime against women in India and continues to be so since most women choose to ‘let it go’. Absolutely not! No woman should ‘let it go'. That's how we breed monsters in our society who dare to molest women because they believe they can get away with it and they generally do!
16th Dec, 2012 happens to be a horrific day in the history of India where Nirbhaya was beaten and gang raped in a private bus in the capital. This incident shocked the world and led to an uproar. Women today strongly need to stand up against men for any injustice done to them and thus the directors/producers choose this day to showcase the story of rape and revenge through their movie Dare You!
Dare You is a suspense thriller presented by Nutan Groups & Narshi Vasani, written, produced and directed by Denis Selarka and Mehul Simaria. The film stars newcomer Alisha Khan in the lead role. Dare You tells the story of Rani Diwan, a free spirited, strong willed girl from Kashmir who comes to Mumbai to complete her graduation. She soon becomes the most popular girl in the college. However, she unintentionally attracts the attention of some notorious college guys, who set their eyes on her and driven by their lust, end up gang raping her. After the horrific incident, Rani shows exemplary courage. Instead of buckling down to the trauma or reporting the matter to the police, she decides to avenge the crime. Thus begins Rani's journey to bring the rapists to their deserving end! It is a spine chilling emotional journey of a fearless Indian girl taking a bold stand against rape. Dare You is the voice of youngistan!
Please join us in fighting against rape TOMORROW!

Richa Chaddha dropped from Bombairiya

Richa Chaddha makes news for her mismanaged dates again. On many occasions prior to this , stories about her dates have been published in leading newspapers. This time it is Indian born British producer Michael Ward who has taken a stand and moved on from Richa who was cast in his film Bombairiya. 

Bombairiya was touted by Richa to be her 'international project'. However, the producer was quick to clarify that Bombairiya was Infact an out and out Bollywood film. 

Said Michael, 'We have had to move our schedule twice to accommodate Richa's new commitments. After shifting around dates for the second time and moving our schedule to mid December to accommodate Pooja Bhatt's film with Richa, we were suddenly informed that we would not have enough dates to shoot with Richa as she had committed her dates to Excel as of Mid January and that she would be shooting for that film for five months! Bombairiya is our first production here and we have timelines to adhere to as well. Pia Sukanya the director and I took a collective call to let Richa go and start the recasting process. Due to her management playing havoc with our schedules, the schedules of other actors and technicians attached to the film have been affected too. We now start shooting in Mid April when we are able to get all the other actors combined dates.'

Adds Michael, 'while Richa's management claims that we had not signed a contract, fact remains that we could not sign a contract since our dates kept getting pushed around. Despite this we did give her a signing amount and have decided to let her keep it in appreciation of her time. I wish Richa the best and hope her representatives take better care of her date management in the future.' 
Richa had the industry abuzz when she gave away dates allocated to Sanjay Leela Bhansali for Ram-Leela to Pooja Bhatt. However, given that Bombairiya's producers had warned Richa's management that she would have to be re-cast unless all of January 2015 was made available, it would be fair to say that she has been dropped from the film.
