Shree Narayan Singh while talking about the project said, “The film will talk about not just making profits and being a huge enterprise but also Dr. Kurien’s role in empowering the general public, especially women, at the grassroots level. Dr. Kurien was a visionary businessman, philanthropist, and a great human. He wanted to study nuclear engineering but ended up in the dairy industry.”
According to International Business Times (IBT), the film is at its early stage and it is too soon to decide an actor. “But we are wondering who would be fit to play Dr. Verghese Kurien. Well, considering Rajkummar Rao has worked with Ekta Kapoor in her hit web-series Bose, we wouldn’t be surprised if he pulls off this one as well. Apart from Rao, we also believe Varun Dhawan can play a young Kurien,” a source associated with the project revealed to IBT.
Currently, Shree Narayan Singh is working on Batti Gul Meter Chalu, starring Shahid Kapoor.
