Yuvraj Kumar, Whistling Woods International alumni, is gearing up for his upcoming film ‘ISIS – Enemies of Humanity’ and says that transforming the real life research, on violent Jihadist militant group into a cinema was a real challenge.
A student of world Politics:
- Yuvraj Kumar who hails from a defense background has exposed the commanders of an
- ISIS camp who indoctrinates the youth for violent act of terror all across
- the world in his upcoming film ‘ISIS- Enemies of Humanity’.
- ISIS has been declared as a Terrorist organization by the United Nations and various other individual countries.
- “I am a student of World Politics.
- Thus when terror attacks gained momentum, it was very natural for me to start looking into it deeply.
- And through my research on this menace in the era of the 21st century,
- I gained an in depth learning about the ideologies practiced by terrorist groups.”
- “Finally, all this had to be turned into cinema and transforming this real life research into a cinematic story line was sure a challenge.
- It had to be a form of cinema that would engage, entertain but at the same
- time challenge the violent terrorist ideology and present a solution towards world peace.”
Started research by following websites promoted by terrorists:
- “Most importantly instead of biased judging of people who joined the terrorist groups,
- gaining a practical insight on what were the factors that made them do so, was a major responsibility of the film.” said Yuvraj in an interview on Saturday.
- Giving an in-depth insight about his research work Yuvraj said, “During my research,
- I instinctively started following various websites promoted by terrorist states,
- watching videos on speeches by the radicals and terrorists like Maulana Masood Azhar,
- started talking to ex army officers who had caught jihadis.”
- “In this process I had long conversations with taxi drivers in Dubai, and drivers from Afghanistan and Pakistan,
- whose relatives had been a part of some or the other extremist Jihadi group.
- Thus the research had been intensive and in diverse forms.”
- The backdrop of the film speaks volumes about the functioning of ISIS.
- It exposes the commanders of an ISIS Camp,
- who Indoctrinate the youth for violent acts.
- The film outlines the sheer importance of Islam in its purest form &
- defies Islam which is projected by anti-social elements of the world.
- Furthermore, the film stars Rahul Dev, Rasheed Naaz, Yuvraj Kumar, Manon Faure and Harish Bhimani.
- Directed by Yuvraj Kumar under the banner of Atlantic Films is slated to release on 29th September, 2017.
