Mumbai, April 27, 2021: Film Producer Sunil Jain of SJP, Ashish Arjun Gaikar's AGFS, and Ankit Chandiramani's Sunshine Studios have announced an investigative thriller film on Kerala's mission child. A film, delving into the mysterious world of child trafficking and missing children in God's own country is titled "Backwaters".

Based on the true events of missing children from Kerala, the film "Backwaters" will be helmed by Abhinav Thakur - an FTII graduate best known for helming short film "Rangmanch". The movie looks at how even God is not aware of what has happened to the missing children of Kerala - the God's Own Country, especially the missing case of a seven-year-old, Rahul Raju, who went missing in May 2005 and has never been found.



Delhi theatre actor Sartaazh Khari will play the role of the CBI officer investigating the case while UK model Neeta Paryani will play the fact-finding journalist conducting a simultaneous investigation.

"We found Sartaazh to be apt for the role. We are exploring all the angles of how the children went missing and how a sharp CBI officer exploring the case looks at every eventuality but is unable to nail a single one. Journalists have also played an important role in this case and Neeta was pitch-perfect for the scribe who does her own research and investigation into the cases of the missing children", says the director.

To better prepare for the role, Sartaazh has been meeting several top CBI officers while Neena's been meeting journalists who have followed the case. The movie will go on floors by the end of the year at real locations in the backwaters of Alappuzha in Kerala.
