Directed by Vikas Ranjan Mishra, Huma Qureshi Plays a Powerful Role
'Bayaan' is directed by Vikas Ranjan Mishra, who previously made the acclaimed film 'Chauranga'. 'Bayaan' is a police thriller that exposes the complex relationships of society, power, and gender-based politics. According to director Mishra, this film is an honest glimpse of contemporary India, where the equations of power and gender are very deep and often invisible. The film tells the story of a woman who does not lose her voice amidst a corrupt system and social pressures.
Huma Qureshi is playing the lead role in this film and is also the executive producer of the film. According to Huma, "Bayaan is not just a film, it is a statement. It is the story of a woman who stands against the system, a system that tries its best to silence her. Through this character, I have found a new direction for my acting ability."
She further added, "I have been looking for such a character for a long time – one that is not only layered, but also deeply connected to social reality. 'Bayaan' has become that platform for me."
