“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,” Umesh said.
Opening up about the movie, Ujjwal 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.”
Bombay Fables and Merry Go Round Studios have acquired the rights to tell the story of Nikam.
