Raaj Shaandilyaa announces his next ‘The Verdict 498A’
‘Dream Girl’ filmmaker, Raaj Shaandilyaa has announced his next ‘The Verdict 498A’ based on the life of Deeptanshu Shukla, an IIT Kanpur graduate falsely accused in a dowry case.
The wrongful charges forced him to leave his engineering career and become an advocate. The makers have secured Shukla’s life rights to present his story with authenticity.
Anindya Bikas Datta makes his Hindi directorial debut with the project. It is being produced by Raaj Shaandilyaa & Vimal Lahoti under their banner Kathavachak Films.

Sharing the news on social media, Shaandilyaa said, “Proud to bring The Verdict 498A – A story that must be told! Under my banner, Kathavachak Films. This is not just Deeptanshu’s story—it’s the story of thousands of families suffering in silence, crushed by a system that has turned justice into a weapon. We cannot allow innocent lives to be destroyed under the guise of women’s protection. True equality demands justice for all. Atul Subhash’s tragic end is a heartbreaking reminder that the system is failing the very people it was meant to protect. But giving up is not the answer.
This film will inspire those falsely accused to stand their ground—just as Deeptanshu did. Life is a gift from God; do not let falsehood steal it from you. Stand up for your family, fight back, and together, we must put an end to the devastating misuse of this law. India is a democratic nation, and now is the time to reform our judicial system to ensure it remains unbiased and does not favor any particular gender. I urge the Government of India to take strict action against those who manipulate the law in the name of justice. My humble appeal to the Honorable Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi Ji, our nation urgently needs a Men’s Protection Act. Justice must not be selective; it must be fair and equal to all.”
