[ajaybaskar]

Exclusion is a forthcoming Hindi to be directed by internationally acclaimed director, Deepa Mehta. The film will star Amitabh Bachchan, John Abraham, Seema Biswas and well-known British actor Terence Stamp in lead roles. The film will have music by A. R. Rahman and cinematography and editing by Giles Nuttgens and Colin Monie respectively.

Exclusion showcases the Komagata Maru incident, an incident where Canada turned away 397 Indian dissidents because they were scared of a "brown invasion". Indians who had come by boat and were forced to turn back and when they returned to India, the British opened fire on them, killing most of them.

The film will most probably go on floors sometime in 2007 with a release date yet to be announced.
