NEW DELHI: Even as the Supreme Court has referred the curative plea on homosexuality to a five-judge bench, which will re-examine the two-year-old verdict by which a colonial law, criminalising consensual sexual acts between the same sex under section 377 of IPC, a web series called All About Section 377 by director Amit Khanna will be aired shortly.
Khanna, who had directed Tutiya Dil and Badmashiyaan has already brought out a promo reflecting the joys and sorrows of people who have different sexual preferences and how they cope up with the society.
All About section 377 is written and directed by Amit Khanna, who is also an ace photographer.
The web series consists of eight episodes, which is produced by Weirdoze and the Creative Gypsy. It features Gulshan Nain who played the lead in Channel V’s Show Friends Conditions Apply, Ankit Bhatia, Mustafa Shaikh and Khanna himself.
The promo leaves a strong message by planting a serious thought in the minds of every individual. The promo is aimed to hit hard to a lot of Homophobic people and their phobia just might come to an end.
Khanna said, “The existence of Section 377 itself is frightening. How does someone else get to decide how, when and who, one should love? Basically the right of ‘freedom of choice’ isn't legal anymore..."
Apart from the concept of the series, what is interesting to see is that celebrities like Niranjan Iyengar, Iris Maity and Suzanna Mukherjee will be seen in cameos.
