It Was Difficult to Consider a Biopic on Dadasaheb Phalke: Rajamouli

In the teaser, it is mentioned that many people are making various types of biopics in Indian cinema. Now, Indian cinema itself is becoming the subject of a biopic. ‘Made in India’ is being directed by SS Rajamouli. Sharing the teaser on social media, Rajamouli wrote, “I was deeply moved when I heard the description of a film for the first time. Making a biopic is not easy. But considering making a biopic on Dadasaheb Phalke was very challenging. We are all preparing for this film… Made in India!”

When I first heard the narration, it moved me emotionally like nothing else.

Making a biopic is tough in itself, but conceiving one about the FATHER OF INDIAN CINEMA is even more challenging. Our boys are ready and up for it..:)

With immense pride,
Presenting MADE IN INDIA… pic.twitter.com/nsd0F7nHAJ
