Kolkata: There is uncertainty looming over the film being made on the life of the RG Kar victim as her parents have not yet given their consent for it.
On Thursday, the victim’s parents said they would consider the matter after their daughter gets justice.
This reaction of the victim’s parents came after a director named Ujjwal Chatterjee decided to make a film on the victim.
The film, which is said to be titled ‘Tilottama’ (which refers to the victim), will release ahead of the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections.
The director has spoken to Tilottama’s parents several times about the subject of the film. However, Tilottama’s parents have not yet given final consent.
Speaking to a section of media persons, the father said, “Right now we don’t know anything. But a director came to us to talk about it. I just said that until we get justice, we have nothing to do with such a proposal. After we get justice, we will think about it. If someone wants to make a film on my daughter, it is their own responsibility.”
Meanwhile, the victim’s mother said, “I can’t think of anything other than justice for my daughter. Unless we get information about what happened that night, who was behind the crime, this film will have no meaning. My daughter is everyone’s daughter. Nothing will happen until we get justice.”
On Friday, the director told media persons, “I want to make the film. Preliminary talks have been held with Tilottama’s parents. The film cannot be made without their permission. So I cannot say anything more right now. But I will take their consent before making the film.”
On August 9 last year, the body of a post-graduate trainee was recovered from the seminar hall of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
The incident had created shock waves across the country and beyond, resulting in a widespread and sustained protest movement by doctors, common people and even female members of households.
The sole convict, Sanjay Roy, had already been sentenced to life imprisonment by the trial court.
Even after a year, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is yet to complete its investigation into the “larger conspiracy” behind the crime.
