Dia Mirza on her Next Bheed: It deals with wider issues of privilege and deprivation

In a recent media interaction, Dia Mirza spoke about her character in Bheed and also shared details about the film. The actress said that the story of the film is much about wider issues of privilege and deprivation, power and powerlessness, humanity and inhumanity, empathy, and apathy.

"This trailer reminds us of the vast suffering of millions during the lockdown and captures countless human stories of loss, heartbreak, and helplessness that have never been documented fully. Three years after the lockdown, this trailer also reminds us just how quickly we forget tragedies that have not impacted us directly."

"It was easy for me to imagine the horror of being apart from my child in the middle of a massive humanitarian crisis but this story is also about much wider issues of privilege and deprivation, power and powerlessness, humanity and inhumanity, empathy, and apathy. I hope Bheed expands our worldview and helps us to include in it, human-beings who are just like us but don't have the luxury to live in a sanitised bubble."

The trailer of Bheed stars Mirza, Rajkummar Rao, Bhumi Pednekar, Pankaj Kapur, and Ashutosh Rana. Directed by Anubhav Sinha, in the trailer Mirza is seen to be playing the role of a mother whose life drastically changes when a sudden lockdown makes it impossible for her to reach her child. Bheed is scheduled to release on March 24.
