Sonchiriya is set during the 1975 Emergency and traverses the beehads or ravines of the Chambal valley, infamous for the terror of its dacoits. The makers of Sonchiriya, which revolves around dacoits of Chambal valley, unveiled the trailer for the film on Monday. Sushant Singh Rajput, Manoj Bajpayee and Ranvir Shorey play the baaghis or rebels terrorising the region. With the release of Paan Singh Tomar release nearly six years ago, Sonchiriya could usher in the forgotten genre of dacoit drama in Bollywood. Directed by Abhishek Chaubey, who has been at the helm of films like Udta Punjab, Dedh Ishqiya and Ishqiya, and presented by Ronnie Screwvala’s RSVP movies, Sonchiriya is slated to release in cinemas on 8 February.
