Added to that is the impeccable trio of actress Adah Sharma, director Sudipto Sen and producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah, who had stormed the box office with their major hit The Kerala Story. As far as Bastar: The Naxal Story is concerned, Adah Sharma has really nailed it in the role of the daredevil IPS officer Neerja Madhavan.
