Aarushi Talwar’s parents seek stay on ‘Rahasya’ film’s release , directed by Manish Gupta and produced by UVI Films Production Ltd

Dentist couple Nupur and Rajesh Talwar, serving life sentence for murdering their teenage daughter Aarushi Talwar, on Thursday refuted claims of the Censor Board that the soon to be released film ‘Rahasya’ has no similarity to her murder and sought stay on its release till their appeal is heard and decided by the Allahabad High Court.

The Talwars had approached the Bombay High Court against release of the movie, directed by Manish Gupta and produced by UVI Films Production Ltd, on the ground that the film is based on “distorted facts surrounding the gruesome death” of their daughter Aarushi.

After the Censor Board filed an affidavit stating that there are no similarities between the movie and the murder incident, the couple sought the producer and director to arrange for a family member to see the movie. The movie was screened last month for a family member.
