Mumbai, July 29, 2024 – The team behind the upcoming film Ghuspaithiya, directed by Susi Ganeshan and featuring stars Vineet Kumar Singh, Urvashi Rautela, and Akshay Oberoi, is calling on individuals who have faced disturbing cyber threats to come forward and share their experiences. This initiative aims to raise awareness about cyber threats and foster a safer society.
To support this effort, the filmmakers have launched the #MyGhuspaithiyaStory movement, where survivors can share their stories and win a cash prize of ₹1 lakh. These submissions will be evaluated by esteemed members of the media, ensuring every voice is heard and respected. Originally, the prize was ₹51,000, but it has now been increased to ₹1 lakh to further encourage participation.
The goal of the movement is to provide a platform for survivors to speak out, share their experiences, and educate others about the dangers of cyber threats. The filmmakers are dedicated to making survivors comfortable in sharing their stories, boosting their morale, and ensuring their voices contribute to a safer, more peaceful society.
The trailer launch of Ghuspaithiya in Mumbai was an unprecedented event, featuring not only the star cast but also survivors of cyber hacking, phone tapping, and other cybersecurity threats. One survivor bravely shared her story, detailing the trauma she endured due to a horrifying cyber attack, making the launch event powerful and unique.
“I have been a survivor of an intense cyber crime where my phone was hacked, and my photos were morphed to create explicit images of me,” said the survivor. “The hacker then threatened me with demands for meetings and sexual activities. Every day, I received calls from different numbers, demanding sexual favors and threatening to leak the morphed images online if I didn’t comply. They also had access to my credit card and other important banking information.”
Despite the fear, the survivor refused to give in to their demands. “Eventually, they offered me ₹10 lakh to work for them in their disgusting activities. The mental state I was in during this time was indescribable; I was trapped in a terrifying nightmare. But a big thanks to Nikhil (Jethwa) Sir for helping me through this mess.”
Ghuspaithiya, directed by Susi Ganeshan and produced by M. Ramesh Reddy, Jyotika Shenoy, and Manjari Susi Ganeshan, with cinematography by Sethu Sriram and music by Akshay Menon and Saurabh Singh, is not just a film but a crucial commentary on the state of cybersecurity today. The collaboration with Zee Music Co. amplifies its reach, ensuring the message about the importance of cybersecurity spreads far and wide.
As we move forward in an increasingly digital world, the lessons from Ghuspaithiya become ever more relevant. The film’s release on August 9, 2024, serves as a timely reminder that our conversations, data, and digital lives are at risk from cyber threats. Susi Ganeshan’s Ghuspaithiya is not just a cinematic experience but a call to action in the fight against cyber threats.
