Mumbai: For Independence Day, megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who campaigns for various social causes, has expressed hope that India be free of the evil of rape.

The movie stars three women, and its trailer hints that they deal with a case involving sexual assault.

"A woman's body is not a democracy, it's a dictatorship, and its about time the dictator took charge," read the message.
