Actor Sushant Singh Rajput says short film Carbon, backed by Jackky Bhagnani, has a theme that is important in today’s time.
“Generally, we talk about cause after the effect has taken place, but there are very few instances where we talk about effect before cause. Carbon is a very well-intentioned film and a required film at this point of time. It talks about an immediate issue, so I want to congratulate Bhagnani for that,” he said.
“I have seen the trailer and I really liked it. I feel the concept of the film is really good, and puts a question mark on the whole system,” Rajput said at a screening of Carbon.
Set in 2067, Carbon focuses on the prevailing environmental issues in Delhi. The film showcases scarcity of oxygen and water and its adverse effects on the environment and the forthcoming generations.
Actress Prachi Desai, who plays an important role in Carbon with Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Bhagnani, said: “This is a subject that matters to so many people. We are trying to send this film to different festivals.”
Bhagnani plays a man with an artificial heart, while Siddiqui plays a man from Mars. Yashpal Sharma plays an oxygen smuggler.
The film is directed by Maitreyi Bajpai and Ramiz Ilham Khan.
