Umesh Shukla to direct biopic on Ujjwal Nikam

MUMBAI: National Award-winning director Umesh Shukla will soon direct a film on India’s most famous public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam.

Nikam will tell the untold story of the man behind the most fascinating, controversial, and toughest cases ever fought in India. The movie will be written by National Award-winning writer Bhavesh Mandalia and Gaurav Shukla.

Ujjwal Nikam said, 'I have been pursued for years to write a book or make a movie on my life. I was reluctant as I have a huge responsibility towards my victims. But I agreed to collaborate with this talented team, as I trust them to tell a story that will hopefully inspire and do justice to what we have fought for.'

Umesh Shukla added, 'We are thrilled to be making a movie on the life of such a captivating and motivating person. Not all heroes wear capes, some wear the black coat. And Nikam is a true hero. He is India’s avenger, who believes in justice and not revenge.'
