It had been reported a few days back that upcoming film '31st October' starring Vir Das and Soha Ali Khan will release on October 30 this year.

However, what many might not know is that coincidentally, the film will hit screens exactly 31 years after the assassination of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, whose death had sparked off horrific anti-Sikh riots across the country.


'31st October' is an edge-of-the-seat thriller about a Sikh family trapped in a riot-affected area of Delhi. The film has been lauded at various international film festivals because of its realistic content and sensitive treatment.

Written and produced by Harry Sachdeva under the banner Magical Dreams Productions Pvt Ltd, '31st October', which has been directed by Shivaji Lotan Patil, is slated to release on October 30.
