The trailer of Ayushmann Khurrana’s Anek is out and the actor’s character raises a valid question: What is needed to make an Indian feel like an Indian?

An action-thriller set in the North East region of India, Anek aims to continue both Sinha and Khurrana’s winning streak of socially relevant mainstream cinema. Andrea Kevichusa, a model from Nagaland in North East India, makes her Bollywood debut with this movie as well.

We speak to Ayushmann and Andrea about their movie where Khurrana plays Joshua, an undercover cop who is sent on a mission to the North East, after a particularly influential separatist group shows signs of activity. Joshua enlists a local woman to infiltrate the group and gather intelligence. We watch as she experiences casual racism, and declares that because she belongs to an outcast community, she wants to prove to her people that she’s as much an Indian as anybody else from other parts of the country.
