Exclusion is a forthcoming Indian film 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^[1] 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 (most of who were Sikh) as a part of a policy to keep Canada racially white. The Indians on the boat saw this as proof that they were not equal citizens of the British empire, and after being forced to leave Canada and return to Calcutta in India, decided that they would march on the capital in protest of the events that had taken place. The British in turn took this as a sign of rebellion and opened fire, killing many of them.

The film will most probably be released in 2008 with a release date yet to be announced.
