After his highly-acclaimed acting debut in Anurag Kashyap’s Gangs Of Wasseypur, filmmaker Tigmanshu Dhulia, currently swamped in two back-to-back directorial undertakings, has been persuaded to face the camera again. This time it’s for Ketan Mehta’s <em>Mountain Man</em>, the bio-pic on the unsung Bihari hero Dashrath Manjhi who dug a road through a mountain from his remote village to the nearest city.

The unexpected skirmish between two filmmakers Ketan Mehta and Neerraj Pathak has now gone to the courts. On Wednesday, Pathak sent a legal notice to Mehta stating that that he should refrain from making a film on the life of ‘Mountain Man’ Dashrath Manjhi as he, Pathak, had the rights for making the bio-pic and had taken the permission of the family for the same.

After making biopics on Sardar Patel and Mangal Pandey, Ketan Mehta is all set to make two more biopics. While the first would be entitled <em>Noor</em>, the second would be called <em>Mountain Man</em>. The movie <em>Noor</em>, is a story of Noor Inayat Khan, an Indian princess who became a British spy during World War II. The director has revealed that the film would be an Indo-British-French co-production. It is said that Mehta has zeroed in on Katrina Kaif to play the role of the enigmatic woman.
