Avers the produce, “I am aiming at making a realistic drama on one of middle class Indian's biggest fears- death in a hospital. I'm deeply disturbed by the spate of deaths due to medical negligence. We presume only the poor die due to medical negligence. Not so. The rich who can afford the best treatment also perish because someone in the operation theatre goofs up. It's very important to not let gross medical negligence go unpunished. We are saying that Ankur Arora didn't die just because doctors failed to save him; instead, it was plain murder.” Ankur Arora Murder Case is scheduled to release on 24 May (2013).
