Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah and comedian Jaaved Jaffrey have joined hands to support the documentary The Rat Race, based on Mumbai's Rat Killers. Naseer says, "What fiction can't do to help a social cause, a documentary can."He adds that, though he was a huge part of the 70's new wave movement in Indian cinema, even today 40 of his films remain in cans, never to be released. "It is tough to make films- even bad ones as they need time, money and energy. Jaaved, who launched the Indian Documentary Foundation, is hopeful that they can sustain this effort to get more documentaries into the public space and in commercial theatres. Director Miriam Chandy Menacherry, took two years to document the stories of rat killers who set out with sticks and have to bring 30 dead rats daily to earn their Rs11,000 wage monthly.
