Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani’s production house, Excel Entertainment, will produce a biopic on famous mathematician late Vashishtha Narayan Singh. The film will be directed by Neeraj Pathak.
Pathak made the announcement at a press conference in Mumbai on Tuesday. Singh’s family was also present at the event.
Neeraj Pathak also said that there is a possibility of casting popular actors, including Akshay Kumar and Aamir Khan.
Pathak also revealed that since the last two years, in order to write the biography, he has been visiting the village Basantpur in Bihar, the home state of the late mathematician.
He wished that it would have been better if the film would have been made when Vashistha was alive.
The film will be shot at Vashistha’s ancestral home in Basantpur, and different locations related to his life including NASA, California.
The shooting of the film will begin this month.
