Narayana Murthy-Sudha Murthy biopic delayed, still in writing stage; filmmaker Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari reveals reasons
- Filmmaker Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, who is known for films such as Bareilly Ki Barfi, Nil Battey Sannata and Panga, says the biopic is still in the writing stage and assures that the project remains a priority.
Filmmaker Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari recently shared updates on the progress of the biopic on Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy and his wife, philanthropist-author Sudha Murthy.
The highly anticipated film about the power couple was planned several years ago.
In an interview with News18, Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari spoke about the delay and the current status of the project.
Tiwari, who is known for films such as Bareilly Ki Barfi, Nil Battey Sannata and Panga, said that the biopic is still in the writing stage and assured that the project remains a priority.
“We’re still writing that. It’s taking far too long, but I would love to tell their story,” Tiwari said.
Tiwari further said that, currently, she is focusing on her production ventures before taking on the directorial responsibilities of the biopic.
She also emphasised that her primary goal is not just to make a commercial film but to craft a narrative that resonates deeply with audiences.
“No one knows what’s working. We need to question ourselves as to how willing we are to tell fearless stories that are commercially viable at the same time,” the filmmaker said.
So far, no details about the biopic’s star cast and its launch have been disclosed.
