A synergy of ideas can only occur when everyone is in agreement. However, in the case of the Vikrant Massey, Ridhi Dogra, and Raashii Khanna-starrer The Sabarmati Report, the team could not survive the clash of ideas. Producers Ektaa R Kapoor, Amul Mohan, and Anshul Mohan believed the first cut required changes, but director Ranjan Chandel did not share this opinion. So, Dheeraj Sarna, who also served as the dialogue writer, was brought on board.
“It was an amicable parting, but I was hoping for an amicable solution,” says Amul. Initially slated for a May release, the film finally hit theatres on November 15. “After screening the first cut, we felt we needed to redo a few things and introduce some key elements. We wanted to enrich what Ranjan sir made. [Despite] the increase in the budget, Ektaa and I were keen to do it. We did try to get Ranjan sir on the same page,” he shares.
