Actor-filmmaker Aleena Khan who is gearing up for the release of ‘Code Blue’ hopes that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will accept her invitation for the film’s screening.

Aleena Khan interacted with the media for the film promotion of ‘Code Blue’ in Mumbai.

‘Code Blue’ talks about the sensitive issue of Triple Talaq among the Muslim community.  Director Aleena believes that the government and the Prime Minister has been making great effort to ban the practice in India and thinks he should watch the film.

Talking about the signification of the film’s title, Aleena said that Code Blue is a medical emergency term. If a person is dying the code blue is activated. But in the film, the woman is not dying because of physical illness. She is dying because of psychological illness, societal norms, and pressure. In a judgmental society like ours, she is dying and suffering even though it is not her fault. She is a victim of religious malpractice of Triple Talaq.

‘Code Blue’ scheduled for a World premiere in Berlin Film Festival is directed by Aleena Khan.

In association with Rahat Kazmi Films, the film features Alok Nath, Rishi Bhutani, Sushmita Mukerji and Aleena Khan in lead roles.

The movie will release on 8th March which coincides with International Women’s Day.
