The film starring Adah Sharma as IPS Officer Neerja Madhvan, narrates the story of an important incident from the nation that audiences of every generation should watch. The film opens with a hard-hitting, bold, and important subject that no one has ever dared to speak about before.

Produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah's Sunshine Pictures and co-produced by Aashin A. Shah, 'Bastar: The Naxal Story' is directed by Sudipto Sen and features Adah Sharma in the lead.

Adah was recently seen in OTT show ‘Sunflower’ with Sunil Grover in the lead. Prior to that she delivered a blockbuster hit with ‘The Kerala Files.’

She won accolades for her role in the movie.

In an interview with Moneycontrol.com, Adah Sharma talked about not receiving many awards for her role in 'The Kerala Story', despite it being a blockbuster.

"It would be very disrespectful to the Dadasaheb Phalke Awards, the Zee Cine Awards, and others who gave me an award for 'Kerala Story' to say I didn't get awards. Yes, I feel very fortunate to be a part of a film that is the highest-grossing film with a female lead of all time! The awards you are speaking of, I presume I didn't win because I wasn't nominated in the top female performances of the year, but you will definitely get your answer if you ask the respected jury members."
