Says Sameer Nair, CEO, Applause Entertainment, “Viewers are intrigued by biopics. Stories of real people and what they’ve done are always fascinating to watch.

We believe the adaptation of Kingshuk Nag’s book will certainly make for a compelling watch. We are pleased to once again collaborate with director Nagesh Kukunoor who will be helming this project for us.

It has been a wonderful experience collaborating with Applause Entertainment during City of Dreams and I now look forward to once again embark on a new journey – this time with a riveting biopic thriller.”
