Every time the two women have joined forces, they have arguably made Indian cinema all the richer. If Aparna Sen lends wisdom and sensitivity to her stories, actor-daughter Konkona Sensharma breathes life into them with her skilful performances. Almost eight years after the Bengali gem, Goynar Baksho (2013), the director-actor duo are reuniting for The Rapist, a human drama that will reflect the trauma of a violent sexual crime.   

Sources from the production team reveal that the story revolves around three protagonists whose lives are interwoven because of the incident. The film explores how crime affects not only the survivors but also the perpetrators.
