I am absolutely delighted to be associated with this project in the creative capacity."Producer Kunal Shivdasani of Aleya Motion Magic said: "It is a beautiful story about a man whose life takes him on an epic journey making him a world icon as he discovers his passion for running marathons; eventually that guided him to make an impact on the world by bringing about a change to humanity."Omung is a dear friend and we share the same vision for the film, he has helmed Sarbjit and Mary Kom two of the best and most successful biopics in the country and so having him chair the director's role for this film was a unanimous decision."We are very excited to offer this story to viewers, who have been deprived of cinema as we know it for quite some time. Our film intends to make the amazing journey of Fauja Singh personal to everyone watching it."Producer Raaj Shaandilyaa said, "Fauja Singh is the real king and we are all honoured to present his story in the form of a cinematic experience for the Indian diaspora world over. This story takes us on a journey through time and makes the realisation of what our grandparents have been through.
