Aamir Khan to produce documentary on the President
As per the latest reports, the project will be helmed by filmmaker and writer Svati Chakravarty Bhatkal, who is known for her work in documentaries and socially relevant storytelling. The project is important because Murmu is the first tribal President of India and the second woman to occupy the country’s highest constitutional position.
What to expect
The documentary will chronicle her life from her childhood in a small village in Odisha to her rise in public service to her election to the presidency. Instead of focusing on her political achievements, the film hopes to examine the experiences, struggles and personal losses that have shaped her journey over the years.
