More about the shortlisted short film Bittu 

The short film is inspired by a food poisoning accident that took place in a school in 2013. Karishma took inspiration from this story and shot it in the rural Himalayas where she grew up as a child. Bittu's plot revolves around two close friends and their friendship which then suffers due to an accident. It focuses more on the child's psychology than the incident itself. The short film is produced by Ekta Kapoor, Guneet Monga, and writer-director Tahira Kashyap Khurrana. They have presented the film under the banner Indian Women Rising which is a collective effort to encourage Indian female talent. The film does not have any known names as its cast as Karishma picked some local children and arranged theatre workshops for them.
