Irrfan Khan To Play Abdul Kalam Azad?
| |||
Tuesday, 10th May 2016, 7:17 PM IST Filmmaker Pramod Gore has reportedly bought the rights to make a film on former President of India, APJ Abdul Kalam Azad. It is said that he is planning to approach Irrfan Khan to play the lead role. A source said, "Gore visited Kalam's home in Rameswaram where he met his brother to gain insight into the great man's life. The makers are planning to release it next year. The director is yet to be finalised, but they are keen to cast Irrfan as Kalam." Gore said, "There is so much that Kalamji has done for our nation; he is an inspiration for all of us. I travelled all the way to Rameswaram because I want to be thorough and not falter in conveying a story as great as this. Moreover, I had to seek permission from his family before going ahead with the film. I have also bought all of his 22 written works, including Ignited Minds, Wings of Fire, India 2020 and The Kalam Effect as research material. It is not easy to weave an entire life into a two-and-a-half hour film and I want capable hands on board for it. That's why I want to cast Irrfan as Kalam; I think he will be able to do justice to the film."
