Sankaran Nair, a historic man to the big screens. Directed by @karanstyagi,” he wrote.
Johar’s Dharma Productions will be presenting the movie along with Still & Still Media Collective.
The makers are yet to announce the cast of the movie.
Besides this film, Johar is also producing movies ”Sooryavanshi”, ”Brahmastra”, ”Dostana 2”, ”Meenakshi Sundareshwar” as well as Madhuri Dixit-starrer web series ”Finding Anamika” and season two of ”Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives”.
