In a shocking turn of events, Dharma Productions earlier today announced a captivating biopic in the works in tribute to Indian lawyer and statesman C Sankaran Nair. The film would feature a talented star cast which includes three of the highly skilled actors collaborating for the first time.
Akshay Kumar, R. Madhavan, and Ananya Panday are about to share the screen in the upcoming biopic. Akshay Kumar is no stranger to biopics as he has done plenty of them over the years with most of them having positive reviews from the critics and the audiences.
After his thrilling role in Shaitaan, Madhavan is all set to be a part of the biopic and showcase his diverse acting skills once again. He is also no stranger to biopics as he delivered an instant classic with Rocketry: The Nambi Effect which excelled with the audiences as well as the critics.
Joining the frame with them is Ananya Panday, the current OTT sensation who has taken the OTT biz by storm. With her recent releases such as CTRL, Call Me Bae, and Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, Ananya Panday has improved a lot and can add much more diversity to the biopic. According to early rumors, the story of the upcoming film centers on Nair’s major conflict with the British Empire, namely the notorious Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
Panday, who would be sharing the screen alongside Akshay Kumar, joins the ensemble as an aspiring lawyer. Sources indicate that Panday’s character seeks advice from Kumar, who plays a senior lawyer, creating a mentor-protege connection. Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi under the banner of Cape of Good Films and Dharma Productions, the film is set to release during Holi of 2025.
