Nitesh Tiwari keen to approach Aamir Khan for the role of Narayana Murthy?

According to reports, well-known filmmaker Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, whose credits include Nil Battey Sannata (2016) and Bareilly Ki Barfi (2017), has locked the idea to base her next film on. She has just finished her next directorial Panga, starring Kangana Ranaut, Richa Chadha and Pankaj Tripathi in principal roles. The movie is scheduled to hit the silver screen on 10th January, 2020.

While Panga is still five months away from its theatrical release, Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari has started planning for her next directorial offering. Buzz has it that she has decided to make a biopic based on the life of N. R. Narayana Murthy, co-founder of Infosys, and his wife Sudha Murthy.


The latest update on the project is that filmmaker Nitesh Tiwari, who is also the husband of Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, is keen to approach superstar Aamir Khan for the role of Narayana Murthy. Nitesh is co-producing the untitled film with Mahaveer Jain. Since the filmmaker has directed Aamir in Dangal (2016) and shares a close relationship with the superstar, he wants him to headline the Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari directorial.

“It would be an interesting project for Aamir to do. He and Nitesh came up with a masterpiece like Dangal, and the story of the Murthys is something that a lot of people aspire to emulate,” a trade source says. Another source close to the development informs, “The casting and the scripting of the film is in progress”.

Meanwhile, Nitesh Tiwari is looking forward to the release of his upcoming directorial venture Chhichhore. Produced by renowned producer Sajid Nadiadwala under Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, the movie has Sushant Singh Rajput and Shraddha Kapoor in lead roles. Chhichhore is set to release on 6th September, 2019.

Kannada priest makes India’s first AI film without actors or crew on £9,500 budget

In a quiet village near Bengaluru, a temple priest has done something no one expected. He made a full-length Kannada film without hiring a single actor, technician or musician. Narasimha Murthy, who serves at the Hanumantharai Temple in Siddehalli, created Love You, a 95-minute film entirely powered by Artificial Intelligence.

Murthy didn’t come from a film background, nor did he have access to a big team. Instead, he joined hands with Nuthan, a graphic designer who taught himself how to use AI tools. Together, the two-man team used around 30 different AI applications to design the cast, create visuals, generate drone-like shots, compose music and even script dialogues. The film cost £9,500 (₹10 lakh) to make, most of which went into buying software licences, and took just six months to complete.
