‘Intrusion’ dedicated to late photojournalist Danish Siddiqui: Amit Sadh

Mumbai (IANS) | Actor Amit Sadh is in the news for his short film ‘Ghuspeith’, which was recently screened at the Boston International Film Festival 2023. He said the film is dedicated to photojournalists like Danish Siddiqui, who risked their lives to report realities through heart-rending photographs.

Amit said: I am thrilled to be a part of this project. When Mihir approached me for the film, his preparation and enthusiasm won me over. That’s why I said yes to the infiltration. As his first directorial venture, he has done an excellent job.

I am sure he will go far in life, and it is an honor to be a part of encouraging such talent. They say that pictures speak a thousand words. We dedicate the film to photojournalists like Danish Siddiqui, who risked their lives to tell us the truth through their heart-wrenching photographs.

Danish Siddiqui was a photojournalist for an international news portal. He was from New Delhi. In 2021, Danish was shot dead during his coverage of the conflict in Afghanistan during the Taliban’s seizure of power.

On the work front, Amit has other projects lined up including ‘Main’, ‘Pune Highway’, ‘Duranga 2’, some of which are said to release this year.
