MUMBAI: After multiple release dates were pushed due to an impending court case, Rahasya – presented by Viacom18 Motion Pictures and UVI Film Production, will finally hit theatres on 30 January, 2015. 

The Bombay High Court found no substance in the petition filed by the parents of Aarushi Talwar, a Noida teenager, who was found murdered under mysterious circumstances in May 2008. The Talwars had blocked the release alleging that Rahasya was based on the life of their slain daughter and was unfit for public screening with the case being sub judice.

Viacom18 Motion Pictures COO Ajit Andhare said, “We are glad that the film will be released after the Hon’ble Court’s verdict. Rahasya makes for the ultimate suspense thriller that is backed by a strong script and great performances. The film deserves this release opportunity and we are grateful to the Court for the same.”

After the court’s verdict, director Manish Gupta said, “I am thankful that the film is finally releasing this Friday. Rahasya is inspired by the grey shades in human nature. The plot involves a father accused of killing his eighteen-year old daughter. An investigative thriller, Rahasya questions societal norms - unraveling the secrets of a seemingly ordinary family. I hope that the audiences will be enthralled by Rahasya.”

The film’s story involves an urban couple living in Mumbai whose only child, an 18 year old teenager named Ayesha Mahajan has been murdered inside their large duplex apartment. The initial police investigations point at the girl’s father as the prime accused for the murder. But as the case is taken over by the Central Bureau of Investigation (C.B.I.), further evidence reveals ulterior motives of near and dear ones in Ayesha’s life who could have committed this heinous crime.
