Aamir Khan Productions has announced a documentary on the life and journey of President Droupadi Murmu, with filmmaker and writer Svati Chakravarty Bhatkal set to direct the project.
According to Variety India, the documentary will trace Murmu's remarkable journey from her roots in a small village in Odisha to becoming India's first tribal President and the country's second woman to hold the nation's highest constitutional office.
The film will chronicle the defining chapters of Murmu's life, including the personal tragedies, challenges and setbacks she overcame before entering public life and eventually ascending to the presidency. It will also explore her years in public service, offering a closer look at the resilience and determination that shaped her leadership.
To recreate key moments from Murmu's early life, portions of the documentary have reportedly been filmed in her native village in Odisha. Local actors have been cast to portray different phases of her life, while the filmmakers are expected to combine dramatized recreations with archival material and real locations to present a detailed account of her journey to Rashtrapati Bhavan.
