See how Rhea Chakraborty reacts to women of Afghanistan after they are being enslaved by Taliban

In the midst of the fast changing situation in Afghanistan, Bollywood actress Rhea Chakraborty posted a social media plea for world leaders to speak out against women who are sold and enslaved.

Rhea wrote, “While women around the globe fight for pay parity, women in Afghanistan are being sold - They have become the pay. Heartbroken to see the condition of women and minorities in Afghanistan. Urge the global leaders to stand up for this! #smashthepatriachy. Women are human too.”

 After U.S.-led forces withdrew the majority of their remaining soldiers from Afghanistan last month, the Taliban campaign escalated as the Afghan military's defences looked to collapse. The United States Armed Forces are expected to leave Afghanistan on August 31.

Shekhar Kapoor, a film director, has expressed his displeasure with the situation. "Special prayer for the people of Afghanistan . A nation wrecked and destroyed by the colonial ambitions of foreign powers. #Afganistan," Kapoor tweeted.

Rumy Jafry is directing the mystery thriller, which is produced by Anand Pandit Motion Pictures and Saraswati Entertainment Private Limited.

The publication of "Chehre" was originally planned for July 2020, but was postponed owing to the coronavirus pandemic. It was originally scheduled to end on April 30, but was postponed due to the second wave of COVID-19.

"The crew has put in a lot of effort, and we've always believed that 'Chehre' deserved to be shown in a theatre." We want the film's grandeur to be properly presented, therefore we are excited to finally reach the audience through the cinema screens," Anand pandit said.

Most theatres across the nation have reopened, including those in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana. The reopening of theatres has yet to be approved in Maharashtra and a few other states.

Annu Kapoor, Krystle D'Souza, Drithiman Chakroborthy, Raghubir Yadav, and Siddhanth Kapoor also feature in "Chehre."
